From hot wings with the football game to an elegant roasted heritage bird carved tableside for two, chicken’s versatility is its greatest selling point. There’s fried chicken, chicken salad, chicken soup, roast chicken, poached chicken, grilled chicken. The parts are useful alone or together, to be eaten with fingers or a knife and fork. And chicken can be served throughout the day, from the chicken sausage at breakfast to the Nashville hot chicken sandwich at lunch to chicken Parmigiana at dinner.
