Winner winner chicken dinner—this month you readers were partial to poultry, as chicken made up a whopping five of the 10 recipes. From our column The Fourth Trimester, this Golden Chicken Soup is imbued with peppery turmeric, earthy fenugreek, and fall-off-the-bone meat. Or try this Sheet-Pan Chicken with grapes, fennel, and our editors’ favorite part: torn-up hunks of sourdough. The crackly bread sops up all the sweet-savory juices and will disappear in the blink of an eye.

But readers also loved speedy showstoppers, like this Creamy Gochujang Gnocchi, a riff on rosé tteokbokki. Just dump shelf-stable gnocchi into a glossy gochujang sauce with hot dogs (yes, that’s right) and the starch from the chubby pillows will thicken the pot to perfection. And these Chocolate Chipless Cookies—gasp—where no overnight resting is needed, which means they can be whipped up whenever a dessert craving strikes. Read on for the most popular recipes of April.
