Stacie Billis’ Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner cookbook is going to be a winner for seasoned cooks and beginners alike. In addition to the clear photos and easy to understand instructions at the beginning of the book, Billis has included tons of great suggestions from picking the best raw ingredients to tools, and technique to prep work.

By far Ms. Billis’ most incredible tip is about dry brining. She suggests that even one hour of dry brining will make a difference, and Oh Boy was she right! This is one thing I’ll add to every chicken dish I make in the future. My family had no idea what I’d done differently, but each of them exclaimed over the incredible flavor, texture, and juiciness of the meat. What an amazing tip!

My son and I have made two recipes so far, the Chicken Paprikash and the Crazy Delicious
Classic Roast Chicken. There are easily 15 more recipes we’ll be trying as quickly as possible.

We added chicken breasts to the Paprikash recipe, just because I’ve got a lot of white meat eaters in my family, and it came out perfectly. We brined the breasts whole but cut them in thirds before browning them with the thighs. My daughter said they were the most tender, juicy and flavorful chicken breasts she’s ever eaten.

This is the first time I’ve ever used my phone as a cookbook and I have to say Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner was incredibly easy to read and refer to when downloaded to my phone. I have no idea if Stacie Billis had this in mind, but kudos to the folks who put this together.

My son had only one tiny suggestion to improve the recipes which would be to add the total prep time at the start of each recipe. The author lists a time with each step throughout: marinating time, baking time, etc. but listed as a total time would be helpful.

I highly recommend this wonderful cookbook!

Loved this book! The recipes were not difficult to make and even my boyfriend's kids (who aren't big eaters) liked the meals I made. Chicken is a staple in our house and thanks to this book I have a whole new bunch of ideas!

There are some really great recipes in this book. I didn't know you could do so much with chicken! I am going to try a few of them! This book was also easy to read with colorful and delicious looking pictures.

I loved this cookbook. I'm always looking for new ways to make chicken so my family will be excited to come to dinner. This book is full of family-friendly recipes. The book is full of tips and pictures to help you along the way.

Who knew you could do so much with chicken? I thoroughly recommend this book, I've personally bookmarked half the pages to try out some new recipes

Yum! As I once again to eat more healthy, chicken becomes a larger part of my diet and my assortment of rubs is looking more and more tired. I need new recipes! Stacie Billis's Winner, Winner! Chicken Dinner appeared in the nick of time. From the down-home to the exotic, fast-food to gourmet, there are recipes here for every palate type and every situation. I especially love the Filipino Style Chicken Adobo! Dig in!

As someone who gave up red meat years ago, I thought I owned all I needed to know about cooking chicken in the cookbooks I'd already purchased. I was wrong. This 'winner' of a book not only addresses the proper choosing, handling, and cooking, it also offers fresh recipes. Colorful graphics and photos grabs the reader's interest from page to page. Thank you to Netgalley for this excellent cookbook.

Great bunch of chicken recipes! Always looking for different ways to cook some chicken for my family and this was an awesome addition to the cookbooks I already have!!

I wish I had this book as a young cook. Not only does it give every single bit of information the beginner needs to know about our most popular protein, but provides basic techniques transferable to other meat prep. Along with some predictable international dishes, there are some more unusual recipes, too, such as a delicious pineapple chicken salad with green beans and toasted coconut--this combination I would never have imagined was a big hit with me! Another big plus in this short book are instructions for compound butters and sauces that can also be used with fish, pork and beef. This book is a terrific addition to any medium sized or larger library collection

I really enjoyed this cookbook. I am always looking for new things to cook. It is hard to. It also gives you some ideas for leftovers. The recipes that we really enjoyed were the chicken thigh ragu, five spice cutlets, sheet pan fajitas, chicken parmasean meatballs sheet pan shawarma, and filipino style chicken adobo to name. a few. It also gives you some good information about prepping chicken and some sauces and broth. I reccomend this book if you are looking for some new things to cook. I received this book free from Netgalley and here is my fair and honest review.

A lot of people get tired of eating chicken. “I can’t eat chicken again tonight” my sister says to me all the time. But author Stacie Billis has compiled in one book, fifty ways to prepare the blank canvas of chicken that makes it a delight every night.

WINNER! WINNER! CHICKEN DINNER is packed with so much information. Choosing the type of chicken to buy, recipes, ways to cook it, tips for leftovers, and more. Also included are beautiful full color photos that had my mouth watering not only while I was reading the book, but again while writing this review.

With chicken recipes like, Crazy Delicious Classic Roast Chicken, Sheet Pan Shawarma, Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic (I know, right?), Chicken Parmesan Meatballs, Chicken Thigh Ragu, BBQ Chicken Pizza, plus stock, soup, sandwiches, salads, sauces, and more, there’s something for every taste.

If you’re looking for a way to get more out of chicken, WINNER! WINNER! CHICKEN DINNER is a book you have to check out.

This book is a great cookbook for beginners in the kitchen. I love that the beginning gives you instructions on how to cut the chicken, which I think can be a challenge to many. There are plenty of good chicken recipes as well. I appreciated that there are various techniques for cooking the chicken including one of my favorite methods- sheet pan cooking. I think this is a great book for someone who is just learning to cook or someone who really likes chicken, but wants variations on how to cook it to keep things from getting boring in the kitchen.

Great looking recipes, love the tips and tricks for preparation as well. I can't wait to try some of them very soon.

This book is hands down the best cooking book I've ever read. The way everything is explained and the attention the author placed on each detail deserves a standing ovation. I learned something nee on each page. I had no idea stock and broth were two different things. Plus the variety of recipes the book offers is amazing, comsidering there is only one main ingredient. From roast chicken to pasta to chicken tikks masala. This book has everything covered. 5 stars!

So disappointed that this book was not offered in the usual format of books I download from NetGalley. I wasn't able to read this, but I'm going to hit the bookstore on pub date, because I LOVE cooking and I'm always looking for new chicken ideas.

Chicken is popular with almost everyone, so Stacie Billis’ timely chicken cookbook, Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner: 50 Winning Ways to Cook It Up! is worth taking a look at. Billis is an excellent writer and recipe developer, and while looking through the recipes, readers get to know her as a regular person that most can relate to. So, when it’s someone we know, we are more likely to try their recipes.

The recipes for roast chicken are mouthwatering (there are several with unique spices), and there are recipes for sauces and marinades, as well as sheet pan dinners and quick chicken dinners. Billis includes more than one recipe for fried chicken, including one with Indian spices. There are some yummy salads, wings, pizza, burgers, and pot pie. There is something for everyone here. And one thing that is very important to most cooks, and one of the most important features of a good cookbook, there are beautiful photographs of most of the recipes. Because almost everyone loves chicken, this cookbook will keep cooks busy for several months, and several of the recipes are sure to become family favorites.

While this is mainly a book of fabulous chicken recipes, it goes a bit further and covers important information on choosing the right cut of chicken, the different kinds of chicken (organic, antibiotic-free), and safe handling of chicken and safe temperatures to eat it. There are also helps on cutting up chicken, as well as carving. Next is information on brining, baking, roasting, etc. Very helpful.

This cookbook is highly recommended. The recipes are for dishes that real people will actually want to prepare and eat.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

The illustrations in the book are lovely and its a great collection of recipes - I would definitely buy this book and recommend it to friends

This one truly IS a Winner. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner begins with teaching you how to cut up a chicken, butterfly it, and much more. The recipes are outstanding, and by the time you finish with this book, you will be the master of creating an amazing, perfect chicken dinner every time.

I received a free copy of this book from the publishers and Netgalley. My review is voluntary.

This is really great beginners cookbook and would be a great gift for young adults moving out on their own for the first time. It covers so much information from how to select chicken, to tools, to methods of breaking it down and tons of great recipes ranging from the easiest amateur recipes to ones with complicated flavor profiles sure to impress whoever you're serving. Including yourself! I cannot wait to try a few of the recipes in here, namely the Indian Style Fried Chicken (genius!), the Sheet Pan Shwarama and the Peach Sticky Wings! I really loved how vibrant and colorful the book is as well.

I have seen a lot of better books on chicken cookbooks. What I liked was a lot of cool tips and recipes that don't take too much time to prepare.
I just found some recipes that are ordinary not unique.
3.5 stars for me.
