Our knockout recipes of February leaned into soup season, like this winter-vegetable one packed with potatoes, peas, and carrots, and soul-warming homemade ramen. Also on this month’s list: crowd-pleasing chicken dinners. Try out this chicken tikka that’s made in an air fryer, but has the charred depth of a clay tandoor. Or make this Golden Chicken With Mustard and Shallots, part of this year’s Bon Appétit 56. The chicken breasts sit atop a sunny cream sauce that will remind you spring is just around the corner. Scroll down for the most-saved recipes in the Epicurious app this month.
