Slow-cooking a "roast" chicken yields moist, juicy meat but flabby skin—the easy fix is to run the carved chicken under the broiler to crisp the skin before serving. The miso-honey mixture that's drizzled on before broiling helps the skin get deep caramelization, and it also reinforces the salty-sweet miso flavor you added in the beginning, which will have mellowed. You can serve this as a full meal on its own or add a side dish of spinach sautéed with a little ginger.

Note

Holds on warm through step 2 for up to 30 minutes

Leftover rotisserie chicken finds new purpose in this endlessly comforting dish.
Rather than breaded and fried as you might expect croquettes to be, these are something more akin to a seared chicken salad patty.
Crispy tots topped with savory-sweet sauce, mayonnaise, furikake, scallion, and katsuobushi.
Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.
This is one of the best fried chickens ever. From southern Thailand, gai hat yai is known for its crispy skin, great aromatics, and super juicy meat.
An espresso-and-cumin-spiked rub (or brine) gives this smoked chicken impressive flavor.
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
A pinch of sugar in the spice rub ensures picture-perfect grill marks with layers of flavor.
