There is nothing more romantic than cooking for your partner. You can quote me on that. Men, forget the dinner reservations: make a delicious meal at home, and you’ll win some serious points. 

Even if marriage is not on the horizon, these marry-me chicken recipes are great for a romantic dinner at home. 

The origins of the phrase “marry me chicken” seem to be a new twist on Delish’s engagement chicken story. The editors at Delish had a chicken recipe that inspired their boyfriends to propose to them after eating it. Look it up. It’s a real story. 

Then came the “Marry Me Chicken ” recipes —chicken recipes that if you make for your significant other, they will automatically ask you to marry them.

Whether it works or not is up for debate, but that doesn’t mean that these marry-me chicken recipes aren’t super delicious and worthy of a place on your table. They are perfect for a romantic dinner at any time, but especially on Valentine’s Day, when everything is about romance.
