A Bird in the Oven and then Some by Mindy Fox. Copyright © 2010. Published by Kyle Books

We'd fallen for the convenience of buying just boneless chicken breasts when we came across this book. Through it, we were reintroduced to rich, delicious flavors long forgotten. We reached for our roasting pan and turned on the oven. To our delight, the results were better than expected, and roasted chicken dishes are now back on our menu. In this cookbook, we found complete instructions for how to roast a good bird and many variations for unique flavors. A Bird in the Oven provides "20 Ways to Roast the Perfect Chicken plus 80 Delectable Recipes" to accompany the flavorful roasted bird. The choices include vegetable sides in some unique variations, a chapter on Roast Chicken Salads, another on Roast Chicken Soups, a section on chicken with Pasta and Rice Dishes, and a finale chapter covering Brunch and Lunch. The full-color photography is stunning and inspirational throughout the entire book.
