  • Cookbook author Leah Koenig shares the story behind one of the world's most delicious Hanukkah recipes: zesty fried chicken marinated in lemon juice.

The article from Food & Wine discusses the unique tradition of eating fried chicken during Hanukkah in Italy, particularly in the Jewish communities of Rome and Livorno. This culinary practice stems from the Jewish custom of eating fried foods to commemorate the miracle of the oil during Hanukkah. In Rome, the dish known as *pollo fritto alla romana* involves chicken marinated in lemon, herbs, and spices, then coated in flour and fried. Meanwhile, in Livorno, the chicken is prepared with a batter made from eggs, flour, and water, seasoned with garlic, rosemary, and sage. The article highlights how these recipes reflect the integration of Jewish traditions with local Italian flavors, showcasing a blend of cultural and culinary heritage. Additionally, it touches on the historical context of Jewish life in Italy, where despite periods of persecution, the community has maintained and adapted its traditions, including this distinctive Hanukkah dish.
