CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S SMOTHERED CHICKEN
Craig Claiborne was a child of Mississippi who started as food editor of The Times in 1957 and did as much as anyone to help bring home cooking into the spotlight. The dish "belongs in the 'comfort' category," he wrote in 1983, "a food that gives solace to the spirit when you dine on it." You could give your smothered chicken some European flair with mushrooms and small onions in the gravy, as Claiborne did in his experiments with Pierre Franey, then his kitchen co-pilot. Or you could send yourself south to the Creole tastes of the Delta, with a blend of tomatoes, chopped celery, onion and green peppers added to the sauce. But sometimes the easiest way is the best. Try it.

Steps:
- Craig Claiborne believed a cast-iron skillet to be essential for the authentic preparation of this dish. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Select a skillet large enough to hold the chicken comfortably when it is opened up, as for broiling. Fold wings under to secure them.
- Melt the butter in the pan and add the chicken, skin side down. Cover chicken with a plate that will fit comfortably inside the skillet. Place a heavy can, stone or brick on top of the plate to weigh it down. Cook over low heat, checking the chicken skin, until it is nicely browned, about 25 minutes.
- Remove weight and plate. Turn chicken so skin side is up. Replace plate and weight and continue cooking for about 15 minutes more.
- Remove chicken and pour off fat from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add the flour to the fat, stirring with a wire whisk over medium heat. Gradually add the chicken broth and, when thickened, return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover with the plate and weight and continue cooking over low heat about 20 to 30 minutes longer or until the meat is exceptionally tender. Spoon the sauce over it.
- Cut chicken into serving pieces, and serve with the sauce and fluffy rice on the side.

CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S SOUTHERN CORNBREAD
I've been experimenting with cornbread recipes lately and this is one of my favorites. I don't bake it in a skillet, I use a regular 8 x 8 pan, and it comes out fine. Really yummy!

CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH
Originally printed in 1981, here is Craig Claiborne's take on the classic chicken salad sandwich. In his version, a combination of mayonnaise (preferably homemade) and yogurt is used which yields a lighter, tangier sandwich filling. He calls for using poached chicken, but the leftover roast chicken from last night would work beautifully as well.

DELUXE CHEESECAKE
Craig Claiborne brought this version of the classic dessert to The Times in September 1963, and it quickly became one of the paper's most requested recipes. It makes an excellent backdrop for almost any ripe and sweet fruit. Feel free to play around with flavorings like vanilla, and spices like cinnamon or crystallized ginger.

Steps:
- Adjust rack to the lowest oven position and preheat to 350°. Use a round, deep (3 inches) 8 inch cheesecake pan. Butter it lightly all the way up to the rim and inside of the rim itself or the cake will not rise evenly. Any unbuttered spots will prevent the cake from sliding out of the pan. Mix lemon rind and juice and set aside. Beat cream cheese with sugar until completely smooth. Beat in vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Stop beating immediately after least egg has been incorporated. Fold in lemon juice and rind. Spray the buttered pan with a non-stick spray. Turn batter into prepared pan and level top by rotating gently. Place cheesecake pan into a larger pan filled 1-1/2 inches with hot water. Bake for 1-1/2 hours. Lift cheesecake out of water and place on rack to cool for 2-1/2 - 3 hours. do not place in refrigerator. When cooled, cover cake with plastic wrap and invert onto a plate. Then invert again onto an additional plate so that the cake is right side up. Gently peel off plastic wrap. Refrigerate before serving. Cake can be frozen and defrosted.
