Stew chicken in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, where Amethyst Ganaway is from, features a slow-cooked bird smothered in a savory brown gravy, served hot over grits or rice. While others might call it soup-like in consistency, it's a stew; made with a roux, it has a deeply flavored but light-bodied sauce. The smell of the chicken cooking on the stove with its spices, herbs, and aromatic vegetables feels like a warm hug. A big enough bowl would fill you up for days; it's food that sticks to your bones. Amethyst's granny, and many grannies across the South, served up this dish as comfort food—if you know, you know. Get the recipe
