At Home: Read ‘Chicken and Charcoal: Yakitori, Yardbird, Hong Kong’

Since many of us are still home, we decided to do some digging to find useful products to help stay productive, occupied, entertained and fit while you’re At Home.

When it comes to Yakitori–aka that uniquely Japanese type of skewered chicken you can eat for hours–there are few chefs more experienced in its preparation than Matt Abergel from Ronin and Yardbird Hong Kong. Abergel is damn near the expert when it comes to modern Yakitori from his work at Yardbird, and he’s imbued all his knowledge into this book, Chicken and Charcoal: Yakitori, Yardbird, Hong Kong. In this book–which, for the record, is on our list of best grilling books–Abergel breaks down the magic, signature recipes, cooking techniques and everything else you need to know to create poultry at the level of what is presented at the restaurant. This book will change the way you cook, and it’s also beautifully presented to boot. Even better, Chicken and Charcoal: Yakitori, Yardbird, Hong Kong is on sale right now for $29, which is 27% off the retail price. Get yours quick before Bezos changes his mind about the sale price.
