8 Chicken Dishes To Try Making If You're Looking To Mix It Up

Chicken is such a versatile food, and if you're like me and eat chicken every day, it's kinda nice to mix it up a bit by preparing it in different ways. Here are a few crowd favorites.

Grilled

For those looking for a healthy way to prepare their chicken, grilled is the way to go. It's cleaner and better for you, but can easily be spiced up with seasonings sprinkled on a skillet or grill.

Rotisserie

Nothing is easier than picking up a heated rotisserie chicken from the local grocery store. The options you can do with a rotisserie chicken is endless, the moist flavor goes well in just about anything.

Fried

Everybody loves fried chicken. Something about the crunch of the salty skin just adds to the savory flavor of the meat itself. Whether you're a breast, drumstick, or even thigh person, there is a body part for everyone.

Stuffed

The only thing better than chicken is when there is something baked into the chicken, two meals in one! Baking stuffed chicken can be an easy and filling dish if you're stuck deciding between two things to eat.

Wings

Chicken wings are probably the most creative style of chicken cooking, mostly because of the endless possibilities of sauces. Buffalo, Hot, Garlic, Spicy Barbeque, Honey Barbeque, and Old Bay, are just a few types of sauces that chicken wings can be dressed in.

Last, but most importantly not least we cannot forget the sacred chicken nugget. It's crispy, goodness leaves our mouths watering for days. It is the meal that almost every American child grew up on, the meal available on every restaurant kid's menu, and the meal that even grown adults cannot refuse eating. It's chicken nuggets that make the world go round.

So after reading this article, I'm guessing you're probably pretty hungry and if you're like me, chicken is on the menu. Pick your favorite and get cooking!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.
