chicken

For others, it could be working out a few times a week, playing sport and eating a lot of chicken.

They’re most comfortable behaving like headless chickens running around looking for someone to blame.

I’ve stood over sheet pans on Sunday afternoons, roasting broccoli until the kitchen smelled faintly of sulfur, portioning out tidy mounds of chicken and rice into identical little plastic containers.

Two women at a food stand squinted in the sunlight as they cooked whole chickens on a hot grill to serve with freshly made tortillas and beans and rice.

Roast chicken is stellar as a dinner party main, but it also makes for great leftovers.
