Chicken is more than nourishment; it's a comforting, homey and familiar food. "We've seen a dramatic shift out of red meat and into chicken," said Safeway's chairman in October, 2001. Americans have always loved chicken, and with the current economic and emotional trends, Americans have more reasons to enjoy the thifty but versatile chicken than ever before.

The 150 recipes in this book take chicken around the world, with recipes that are simple to make yet exotic in flavor. Targeted at today's busy but flavor-hungry consumer, this book also shows the current generation how to save money by cutting up a whole chicken and by deboning their own chicken breasts. Chapters include 5-Ingredient Chicken and 20-Minute Chicken Meals, and dishes range from Moroccan Chicken in Spiced Tomato Sauce to Whole Chinese Red-Cooked Chicken. The unique sidebars known as "FlavorPrints: Blueprints for World Cuisines," act as guides for developing impromptu dishes with international passports.
