Chicken is one of the most popular foods we love to cook and eat: comforting, quick, celebratory, and casual. Plundering the globe, there is no shortage of brilliant ways to cook it, whether you need a quick supper on the table after work, something for a lazy summer barbecue, or a feast to nourish family and friends.

From quick Vietnamese lemongrass and chilli chicken thighs and a smoky chicken salad with roast peppers and almonds, through to a complete feast with pomegranate, barley, and feta stuffed roast chicken with Georgian aubergines, there is no eating or entertaining occasion that isn't covered in this book.

In A Bird in the Hand, Diana Henry offers a host of new, easy, and not-so-very-well-known dishes, starring the bird we all love.
