The Chickery began with a desire to
collaborate our favorite chicken recipes. However, upon testing,
revising, and formulating recipes, we found that were doing endless
research to discover the best way to prep, cook, and grill our chicken.
What we found through endless Google searches was that everyone has
their own "best way” to prepare and cook various chicken dishes. When it
came to grilling there were many recipes, grilling methods, and even
grills that seemed to fall short.
When we started out with this idea to create a site dedicated to
chicken recipes we really had no idea what we were doing as it relates
to the culinary of chicken, we just knew we loved to eat it.Today we
understand so much more about what it takes to yield the perfect chicken
strip, or how to smoke a delicious Thanksgiving turkey. This was our
inspiration for the site you see today.
