Forget the brisket. Passover is the perfect holiday to come together as a family ? over chicken. If chicken feels merely ordinary in the face of an extraordinary occasion, consider it the extremely flexible base to a fantastic meal. Whether you prefer your bird whole or not, your meat dark or white, or your skin on or off, there is a recipe for you this Passover.

Allrecipes user Mrs.Demarest912 agrees. “My husband raved about this recipe and picked his hens clean,” she says.

A whole roast bird makes an impressive centerpiece, especially on a formal occasion. Unlike more traditional roast chickens, Chef John's version involves a salty crust, which helps achieve the crispiest skin possible. "This chicken turned out so beautiful golden brown, crispy outside, super moist and tender inside," Kris Swiggum raves.

If you're cooking for a crowd and in search of a really easy option for your Passover table, consider this recipe, where chicken gets its burnish from the heat of the broiler. Since it's not quite grilling season yet, broiling is a great way to get that smoky, outdoor taste to your decidedly indoor chicken. Is this dish elevated? Absolutely. "Looks and tastes a lot like it's from an expensive restaurant," Cherrychuckles07 says.

Take a trip to Greece with this one-pan destination for protein and sides. Chicken benefits from bright lemon flavors — and you benefit from only having to clean up once. Even kids love this dish, as Allrecipes user WestCoastMom attests: "You know it's good when your picky 13-year-old boy tells you it's the best chicken he's ever had."

Chicken breasts benefit from the deep and complex flavors of mushrooms in this easy crowd-pleaser. Mushrooms practically create their own sauce atop the chicken, and, as Bibi noted, the dish can be made from "a few common ingredients." It's delicious, too. "Succulent and chicken breast are seldom found in the same sentence, but you can find them together here in this delightfully simple recipe," Bibi adds.
