I purchased a copy of this book originally in 1985. back when I didn't know what to do with a chicken except shake & bake.I have lived through my entire married life with it. I lost my original copy when I moved this year, and I was honestly heartbroken, as it is long out of print. I sit here on the verge of processing my shopping cart, wiping tears from my cheeks. I love this book, I can't make a bird without it. There is no substitute for the instructional pictures. I was lost at Thanksgiving, as I always open this book before I turn on the oven, and I never carved without it beside me. My Turkey was a little messy this year!

***NOTE***

The fried chicken is very crispy, and easy to do (the floured one, not the deep fried) Try the bread cases for leftovers, they are a little fussy to make, but lovely!

This cookbook is a must-have staple cookbook. Wanna cook chicken right? Check out this book. It teaches you the most essential techniques for handling chicken: slow braising, basting, roasting, stuffing, correct cutting, carving, etc.

I've made a lot of fantastic dishes from this non-descrip book, but it truly is an American classic. It even had some recipes that I didn't expect, like claypot chicken recipes. So many chicken dishes to peruse. I always turn to this cookbook for everyday fare.

Learning to cook is all about technique not recipes; that's what this excellent series is all about. Poulry is one of the best technique books you will find and the bonus is that there are some very great recipes in the back. I've had copies of this book ever since the series came out in the 1970's and 80's--this particular book on Poultry is my favorite.

Had lost mine in a move, so instead of looking for it I bought a another one. This book has the best sauce, for Turkey Tetrazzini. You can put it on potatoes, and anything else you would like. And for a .01 it was the best deal I could, I had to buy a microwave to get the first one. The store sent it in a timely manner. Which was great because I wanted to fix it so bad and could not remember the recipe. Best buy all year.

This book is great for beginners and provides insight to experienced cooks as well. This book goes into detail on selecting poultry, seasonings, cutting poultry and the best wine to serve with your poultry. This book is a must for those that enjoy all kinds of fowl. You will not be disappointed.
