Ever since I got an InstantPot a few years ago, I’ve been trying to find the best butter chicken/tikka masala type recipe I could find. I’ve tried half a dozen out and decided to start averaging and tweaking the ones I liked.

The basic idea behind Viking Chicken is that you are cooking the really nice chicken on top of a bed of fruit (sweet) and vegetables (savory). The sweet and savory combo, mixed with chicken fat, butter and salt, is killer. And you don't need to be too picky about what the veggies are. You can clean out the refrigerator with what you've got if you like. That's why I call it "Viking," because it's sort of low brow and hard to mess up.

COMING IN APRIL! Torani Chicken n' Waffles syrup adds that “is it chicken or is it waffles” allure to cocktails, lattes, sauces, and any deserving recipe. Just add 1/2 - 1 oz. of syrup to any 6-8 oz. beverage, and sandwich your taste buds in history’s stickiest love affair.

My father first found this recipe in the New York Times in 2007. We thought the combination of cashews, garlic, cilantro and jalapenos intriguing and worth a try. When my 9-year old visiting nephew proclaimed, "Hey, this chicken is good!," we knew we had a keeper. I've since made this recipe several times, with great results. Note the reader comments. People have subbed almonds and walnuts for the cashews, and parsley for the cilantro. Great for a summer cookout!

"Marinating the chicken overnight is the secret to this recipe -- the marinade sinks into the meat, and the lime serves as a tenderizer. Using bone-in chicken breasts gives the dish even more flavor."

"Chicken simmers with beans, onions and brown sugar to create a tasty, comforting dish for those cold winter days. Great in warm weather too!"

"on the grill, and have it turn out moist. You need to use techniques designed to keep the chicken juicy. I'm documenting here the steps I've used for years to make delicious and juicy grilled chicken breasts,"

"Yes, that's right, this chicken breast is brined in a coffee mixture. But don't worry the flavor of the coffee is a small addition to all the other flavors in this recipes. Grill the chicken breasts hot and fast to keep them tender and moist. "

"This is some of the best chicken I've ever eaten - grilled, roasted, baked, whatever. Juicy, spicy, tender, lipsmackin' good."

"Here's a curried chicken salad from the archives that cooks up quickly on the stove-top and then is chilled. Spicy but cool."

"It consists of flour-coated thin chicken breast cutlets, cooked with a Marsala wine reduction and usually mushrooms as well."

"My father found this recipe (adapted from the New York Times) for chicken coated with cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, and cashews, and thought (rightly) that it might be worthwhile to try."

"This is a nice light supper that you can whip out for your family in a hurry."

"I decided it was time for me to exact my revenge on those Yetis."

Again with the tofu hunger: "To kill the chickens, farmers suffocate them in sealed boxes filled with carbon dioxide, a practice that has drawn the ire of animal rights groups. Afterward, the hens are layered in mounds of sawdust."

Totally makes me want to eat tofu: "Apparently though, "zombie birds" that managed to survive have been spotted emerging from mass graves at Northern California farms."

"These results provide clear evidence that these chickens possess the memory of the past; they have retained the ability to make teeth, under certain conditions. What I am describing is evolution."
