Spring Chicken Recipes
6 pre-grill season chicken recipes that aren’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers with their fresh flavors.
Ready for a little spring-cleaning in the poultry department? We sure are. After dining on a never-ending smorgasbord of heavy chicken casseroles and stuffed birds this past winter, the coming of spring has us craving zesty chicken dishes.
Here we have collected our top 6 chicken choices for the season—each dressed to the nines in garden fresh herbs, vegetables or marinades. We’ve even thrown in eclectic sides (Peruvian blue potatoes or yogurt dill sauce anyone?) to keep things bright and unexpected.
