Pozharsky Cutlets (Russian Chicken Cutlets) with ground chicken, butter and white bread — Russia recipe

🇷🇺RussiaAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Pozharsky Cutlets (Russian Chicken Cutlets)

Pozharsky cutlets are juicy Russian chicken patties in a crisp crust of dried bread cubes. The trick to their tenderness is cold butter worked into the mince — it melts inside as they fry, like a mini chicken Kiev. The outside turns golden and shaggy from the croutons, while the center stays soft and moist.

Mole Poblano (Mexican Chicken in Chocolate Chili Sauce) with chicken, ancho chiles and mexican chocolate — Mexico recipe

Meat Dishes

Mole Poblano (Mexican Chicken in Chocolate Chili Sauce)

Mole poblano is Mexico's most celebrated sauce — a deep, dark, layered blend of dried chiles, toasted nuts and seeds, dried fruit, spices, and a little Mexican chocolate, ladled over tender chicken. Born in the convents of Puebla, it's famously complex, with well over a dozen ingredients ground and simmered into a glossy, bittersweet-spicy sauce. It doesn't taste of chocolate; the cacao just deepens the whole into something rich and unforgettable.

Hainanese Chicken Rice (Singapore-Style) with whole chicken, jasmine rice and ginger — Singapore recipe

Meat Dishes

Hainanese Chicken Rice (Singapore-Style)

Hainanese chicken rice is one of Singapore's national dishes, deceptively simple and quietly luxurious. A whole chicken is gently poached below a simmer until silky and just cooked, then plunged into ice for a jelly-set skin. The rice is fried in chicken fat with garlic and ginger and cooked in the poaching broth, so every grain is savoury and glossy. It's served with a trio of sauces — fiery chili-lime, ginger-scallion oil, and dark sweet soy — and a bowl of the clear broth.

Satsivi (Georgian Chicken in Walnut Sauce) with chicken, walnuts and onion — Georgia recipe

Meat Dishes

Satsivi (Georgian Chicken in Walnut Sauce)

Satsivi (also spelled satzivi, Georgian საცივი) is a Georgian cold dish: poached chicken or turkey in a sauce of ground walnuts, onion, garlic, and broth, spiced with blue fenugreek, marigold petals known as Imeretian saffron, coriander, and clove. The name comes from the Georgian word for cold, and the dish is served cold or just cool, because the sauce sets as it chills, so it is cooked a day ahead. It is a fixture of the Georgian New Year table.

Pad See Ew with wide rice noodles, dark soy sauce and Chinese broccoli — Thailand recipe

Cereal and Pasta Dishes

Pad See Ew

The Thai stir-fry of wide rice noodles seared in a hot wok with chicken, egg, and Chinese broccoli, coated in a sweet-savoury sauce of dark and light soy. It's the mild, smoky counterpart to pad thai — no tamarind, no peanuts, no chili heat built in — and it lives on the char that only a screaming-hot pan can give.

Tom Kha Gai with chicken, coconut milk and galangal — Thailand recipe

🇹🇭ThailandMedium

Soups

Tom Kha Gai

Thailand's creamy coconut chicken soup: chicken poached in coconut milk infused with galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaf, then balanced with fish sauce and a squeeze of lime. It's the mellow, fragrant cousin of tom yum — rich rather than sharp — and its whole character comes from galangal, not ginger.

Chicken Karaage with chicken, soy sauce and ginger — Japan recipe

Meat Dishes

Chicken Karaage

Japan's much-loved fried chicken: bite-sized thigh pieces marinated in soy, ginger, garlic, and sake, dredged in potato starch, and double-fried to a pale, craggy, glass-crisp shell. The potato starch and the two-stage fry are what set it apart from any other fried chicken, and a squeeze of lemon at the table is all it needs.

Chicken Quesadilla with flour tortillas, chicken and Monterey Jack cheese — Mexico recipe

🇲🇽MexicoMedium

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Chicken Quesadilla

Flour tortillas folded over spiced shredded chicken, peppers, and melted cheese, then toasted in a dry pan until golden and crisp. The trick to a quesadilla that doesn't leak is restraint: don't overfill it, and put cheese against both halves of the tortilla so it fuses shut into one crisp, molten package.

Omurice (Japanese Omelette Rice) with rice, eggs and chicken — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Breakfast and Brunch

Omurice (Japanese Omelette Rice)

Japan's diner classic: ketchup-fried chicken rice packed into an oval and wrapped in a thin, barely-set omelette. The move that separates good omurice from sour, soggy rice is frying the ketchup in the hot pan before it ever touches the rice, and the egg is finished off the heat while it still looks underdone.

Oyakodon (Japanese Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl) with chicken, eggs and dashi — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Cereal and Pasta Dishes

Oyakodon (Japanese Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl)

Oyakodon is a Japanese rice bowl (donburi) of chicken and onion simmered in sweet-savoury dashi broth, finished with softly set egg and served over rice. The name means "parent and child": chicken and egg in one bowl, which is either charming or a little dark depending on your mood. It's the easiest donburi to get right at home, and the one I make when there's nothing in the fridge but chicken thighs, eggs and rice. The egg goes in at the very end and sets into soft, barely cooked curds, and the whole thing takes about fifteen minutes.
