Featured Recipe: Skewers of Sage Chicken with Sweet Italian Sausage

Lorraine Wallace — wife of Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace — shares a family tradition: the night before taping his show, Chris always wants something familiar and comforting for dinner: chicken. Faced with the challenge of keeping the meals interesting, Lorraine created more than 100 delicious chicken recipes the whole family will love. You’ll find chicken favorites prepared in almost every way: baked, fried, butterflied, pan-roasted, and stir-fried, as well as in salads, enchiladas, and pot pies. In addition to her own delicious family favorites, Lorraine includes recipes from celebrity chef Art Smith and restaurants such as Washington’s landmark Martin’s Tavern, along with 31 complementary side dishes.

Cooks&Books&Recipes Editors, on Mr. Sunday’s Saturday Night Chicken:

If this cookbook title sounds odd to you — Saturday? Sunday? — then you obviously missed out on Lorraine Wallace’s first cookbook: the New York Times best-selling Mr. Sunday’s Soups. (“Mr. Sunday” is Chris Wallace, the popular news show host.) In this follow-up cookbook, Chris’s wife moves from Sunday soups to Saturday chicken. The book is organized by season, from winter (“Lemon Holiday Chicken”) to summer (“Creamy Chicken Salad”), but also includes the chapters Friends and Family, Two-by-Two Dinners, and Game Day.
