Nana’s Pot Roast Chicken

Add other root vegetables to this simple chicken dish: chunks of carrot or parsnip, or a little rutabaga and celery. If time is at a premium, a large slow cooker is ideal for slowly braising a whole bird while you’re away for several hours.

Rich Chicken-Miso Ramen

The heart of a truly good ramen bowl is all about the broth. Simmer a cut-up chicken for at least 2 hours (or longer if you have time) on the stovetop—or give a slow-cooker or pressure cooker a spin to either allow you to leave the house or speed up the process.

Arroz Con Pollo (Spanish Rice)

“Arroz con pollo” means rice with chicken—and variations on this classic combination are a staple all over Latin America. It’s economical and wonderfully flexible; switch up the seasonings as you like and add bits of vegetables or herbs that you have on hand to the rice.

Spiced Tomato Peanut Chicken

This saucy dish is great to start off a busy week—just load the slow cooker and get on with your day. The drumsticks can stand up to a bit more cooking time than other cuts of chicken, so you don’t need to rush home too soon.

Crispy Drumsticks with Fresh Corn Salad

Substitute frozen and thawed corn for the raw kernels when corn is not in season. Look for the freekeh, a form of cracked wheat, in the bulk grain bins at a co-op grocery or in the specialty whole-grain section of a good market.

Maple Mustard Drumsticks

Roast these sweet-savory chicken legs in a hot oven or add a smoky edge on the grill. If you grill, wait to glaze the chicken until the last 10 minutes of grilling so the glaze won’t burn. Serve with roasted or grilled new potatoes, tossed with garlic-infused olive oil.

Balsamic Marinated Drumsticks

Marinating chicken drumsticks or thighs in a balsamic vinegar-olive oil dressing spiked with rosemary and oregano is quick and delicious—and can be started the night before or earlier in the day.
