Chicken Scampi

To re-create this Italian restaurant favorite for home cooks, we shallow-fried chicken tenders in a 12-inch skillet and just 2 tablespoons of oil and paired them with a garlicky sauce that we embellished with strips of tender red bell pepper. Just before tossing all the components together, we finished the sauce with a bit of butter to give it the proper consistency—ideal for swiping up with crusty bread or pouring over a bowl of pasta.

virginia peanut pie

Image
The contrasting flavors and textures of this Virginia Diner specialty are easy to love. The pie is simultaneously sweet and salty, with a creamy filling tucked beneath a crunchy top. It's a lot like pecan pie but easier to make. The recipes we tried turned out pies that were too busy with added flavors and spices, were too sweet, or had nuts that didn't feel integrated with the filling. For our version, we settled on a mix of light corn syrup and brown sugar as the sweetener, limited our flavorings to just vanilla and salt, and doubled the amount of peanuts called for in most recipes. We also found a way around precooking the filling and prebaking the crust. And when it came to choosing the peanuts, we found that any type EXCEPT Spanish red skin peanuts will work.  GATHER YOUR INGREDIENTS Crust 1¾  cups (8¾ ounces)  all-purpose flour 1  tablespoon granulated sugar  ¾  teaspoon salt  12  tablespoons  unsalted bu...
