This recipe has simple flavors that take me back to Grandma's house. She knew a million ways to cook a chicken, but this was my favorite. —Tara Imig, Fort Worth, Texas


Test Kitchen tip
  • Capers are pickled tiny flower buds that add a bright, briny burst of flavor. Look for them near the pickles and olives.
