I have a list of Christmas chicken recipes that are definitely going to surprise you. This unique collection of recipes departs from classic roasted chicken, offering up zesty flavors and textures that are definitely off the beaten Christmas path.
Why These Recipes are Great
Things today are far different than they were when I was a kid. Back then, roasted turkey or chicken and ham were the stars of the dinner table. These days, however, people are departing from the traditional and getting creative. That’s what makes these recipes so great.
By adding one or two of these to your holiday table or simply making a feast full of unique flavors with no turkey in sight, you’ll be creating a new Christmas tradition.
Of course, these are also great for potluck Christmas parties, so if you don’t feel like completely departing from Christmas tradition, there’s no need.
