Chicken Dinner, Stacie shares 50 recipes and tells you everything you need to know to help you turn all that chicken into winning dinners. And she spills the most helpful tidbits in this episode.

The Chicken Lady

File this under things Stacie never thought she’d say! But here we are: with you all buying 53 lbs of chicken per person per year and Stacie hoping to help you make the most of all that poultry.

If you’re a regular around here, it’s no secret that Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner: 50 Winning Ways to Cook It Up!, Stacie’s second cookbook, is publishing on April 28th. But this week’s conversation is more than just a plug.

Take a listen to hear Stacie spill the most important tips for choosing quality chicken and cooking it correctly. She covers all the basics and even gives tips for how to deal with the fact that, right now, you may not be able to find the brand or cuts that you’re used to buying.
