Engagement Chicken is a roast chicken dish, purported to cause boyfriends to propose marriage.
Origin
The recipe was developed by Kim Bonnell a fashion editor at Glamour Magazine following a trip to Italy.[1] In 1982, Bonnell gave the recipe to co-worker Kathy Suder to prepare for her boyfriend and soon afterwards, the couple was engaged. The recipe made the rounds in the office and soon three other women in the office were offered marriage proposals soon after making the dish for their boyfriends.
In 2003, after Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive heard that wedding proposals followed making the recipe, dubbed the recipe "Engagement Chicken" and ran the recipe in the magazine in December 2003.[2] Soon afterwards the magazine began receiving letters from women claiming that their boyfriends proposed shortly after being served the dish. The magazine claims 70 couples have married after the women served their boyfriends the dish[3]
In the Media
The month the recipe appeared in Glamour Beth Ostrosky fixed the dish for her boyfriend, shock jock Howard Stern. The next day, Stern who had sworn off marrying again, described the dish on air to the amusement of his co-hosts who claimed that the "trap had been set." One of the show's audience members called in and said the dish he described appeared in a recent edition of Glamour and told him the dish the name of the dish and how it got its name. Stern called Ostrosky on air. Ostrosky claimed that she wanted to fix the dish because it looked delicious and appeared very simple to prepare, but also told how romantic Stern became while eating the dinner.[4] Two years later the Stern and Ostrosky wed.[5]
The recipe has also been featured on the Today Show,[6] Martha[7] and Barefoot Contessa[8]
