Chicken and potatoes everyone will love

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:58:34 GMT

By David Tanis, The New York TimesFor a cool-weather meal that feeds a crowd, consider a braise. Slow simmered and deeply flavored, it has a number of attractive qualities. For one thing, it benefits from steeping in its own juices; cooking it several hours ahead of serving, even a day before, is ideal.

Along with a splash of wine and chopped tomato, it is hearty and warming w...
