Chicken is a superb meal at any time, there are so many ways of cooking.

Roasting, grilling, frying, for casseroles, curries, stir fry, barbecued.

Chicken is a meal easy to cook for a family, but fancy enough for guests.

I have added a couple of easy chicken meals for cooling autumn weather, you can serve them hot or cooled, nice with a salad.
