Chicken Butter
In this unusual recipe, seasoned, rendered chicken fat and creamy butter are whipped with a little maple syrup for an earthy, rich and lightly sweet spread for bread. Make sure to cook the chicken skin until it turns nut brown — that’s what gives the fat its fried chicken flavor. While you could use schmaltz in place of rendering the fat yourself, the flavor won’t be quite the same because schmaltz usually includes onions in the rendering. If you haven’t been saving your chicken skin and trimmings in your freezer to render, you can usually order the skin from a butcher if you give them enough advance notice. And make sure to save the fried chicken skin as a cook’s snack. It’s the crunchy, salty byproduct of this excellent spread.

Chicken Meunière
Traditionally, the term “meuniere” refers to fillets of sole that are floured and sauteed quickly, then finished with lemon juice, parsley and browned butter. But there’s no reason to be parochial about it. This is a fast, surprisingly elegant approach to boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or cutlets of pork, turkey or veal.
Chicken Milanese With Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Salad
A classic veal Milanese consists of pounded veal cutlets or chops that have been breaded in crumbs and sometimes Parmesan, then fried until the coating is burnished and brittle. Accompanied by a crisp, bright salad, it’s a meal both cooling and rich. In this version, chicken breasts replace the veal, and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella tossed with garlicky basil oil acts as the foil to the meat. If you want to work ahead, you can coat the cutlets in crumbs up to 4 hours ahead. Store them on a wire rack in the fridge. But try to serve them freshly fried when their coating is at its crunchiest.

Roasted Turkey Drumsticks With Star Anise and Soy Sauce
Back in 2011, Melissa Clark revisited the turkey. “Just because we don’t think to make it the star of a meal in May doesn’t mean turkey won’t taste as good as it did in November,” she wrote. She took several approaches: cooking the parts separately, then braising them slowly; simmering ground turkey with pancetta for a ragù; and this one, where turkey drumsticks are coated in a mixture featuring soy sauce, honey and star anise, then cooked in a 400-degree oven. It’s a worthy weekend meal, or one for a weekday when work gets out early. Pair it with white rice, to sop up the reserved marinade.

Chicken-Skin Canapés
The irresistibility quotient of crisp chicken skin “crackers” is right up there with potato chips. When I first tasted them during a charity event at the stall run by Ken Oringer, a chef and owner of Toro on the edge of SoHo, I kept coming back for more. He said they were easy to make at home. And they are, requiring about an hour of unattended time. Mr. Oringer served his as little sandwiches – he calls them bocadillas – filled with a kind of Spanish pimento cheese. I made mine open-faced, with the cheese as a topping. I also used them to channel Buffalo wings by spreading a little hot sauce, then a blue cheese mixture on top and using a slice of celery as a garnish. The skin shrinks as it cooks. Kept in a container or a plastic bag, the unadorned crackers can hold for several days.

Chicken-Skin Garnish
I can't speak enthusiastically enough about this garnish — without it, the stewed-chicken-and-rice recipe lies flat, amateur; good but juvenile. The grassy, bracing astringent parsley, the burn of the shallot, the spark of the lemon, combined with the warm, crispy, fatty, salty "chicharron" of chicken skin, is like the one killer piece of jewelry worn with a little black dress, the thing that makes it clear that this is a "main stage talent" and not the personal assistant with the clipboard checking guests into the event.

Ravioli With Spinach
My aunt would save leftover meat in the freezer until she had enough to make the filling. The dough should be made a day in advance, and the filling and the sauce can be made then. Allow about 2 hours to assemble and plan on putting them together several hours before cooking so they have time to dry.
