DotY 2022: Our Judges for the Maker Category Can’t Wait to See What You’ve Got
Whether you've got a fresh bird, frozen chicken breasts or a quick grocery store rotisserie, we've got you covered.
Poor chicken gets a bad rapit’s such a go-to that we often tire of even our favourite recipes. If you’re looking to freshen up your poulet game, read on for a roundup of the best dishes in the west. At-home fried chicken, a healthy noodle bowl, and a few classics from the archives equal no more boring birds.
Goodbye, basic chicken breasts. This fabulous fried recipe from Lawren Moneta uses dukkah, a homemade Egyptian spice rub that can also be used as a dip (just dunk bread or veggies in olive oil before rolling it in the mixture). Moneta shared step-by-step instructions on how to make dukkah, but you can also find it at gourmet grocery stores.

It was when going through archives of 50 years of Western Living recipes that we (re)discovered this recipeit’s a Japanese-Canadian staple that’s a personal favourite of mine. The super-quick, super-simple sauce from chef Daryle Ryo Nagata is just mirin, soy sauce, sugar and corn starch.

Another hit from Julie Van Rosendaal (much like fried chicken, she’s a go-to). While the prospect of frying at home can be daunting, you don’t need a deep fryer for this recipe. A classic spice rub gives this bird extra attitude.
