Dripping Thighs, Sticky Chicken Fingers, Vanilla Chicken,

Fifty chicken recipes, each more
seductive than the last, in a book that makes every dinner a
turn-on.
“I want you to
see this. Then you’ll know everything. It’s a cookbook,” he
says and opens to some recipes, with color photos. “I want
to prepare you, very much.” This isn’t just about getting me
hot till my juices run clear, and then a little rest.
There’s pulling, jerking, stuffing, trussing. Fifty
preparations. He promises we’ll start out slow, with wine
and a good oiling . . . Holy crap. “I will
control everything that happens here,” he says. “You can
leave anytime, but as long as you stay, you’re my
ingredient.” I’ll be transformed from a raw, organic bird
into something—what? Something delicious.
So begins the adventures of Miss
Chicken, a young free-range, from raw innocence to golden
brown ecstasy, in this spoof-in-a-cookbook that simmers in
the afterglow of E.L. James’s sensational Fifty Shades of
Grey trilogy. Like Anastasia Steele, Miss Chicken
finds herself at the mercy of a dominating man, in this
case, a wealthy, sexy, and very hungry chef.
And before long, from unbearably slow
drizzling to trussing, Miss Chicken discovers the sheer
thrill of becoming the main course. A parody in three
acts—“The Novice Bird” (easy recipes for roasters), “Falling
to Pieces” (parts perfect for weeknight meals), and
“Advanced Techniques” (the climax of cooking)—Fifty
Shades of Chicken is a cookbook of fifty irresistible,
repertoire-boosting chicken dishes that will leave you
hungry for more.
With memorable tips and revealing
photographs, Fifty Shades of Chicken will have you
dominating dinner.
