Engagement Chicken: Fact or Fiction!

Engagement Chicken is a famous dish known for bringing in the ring. With just lemon, salt, pepper and chicken, you can get your man to say “I Do.” But how and why exactly does it work? We are here to share with you the recipe along with the history of Engagement Chicken and who is most likely to see some serious results.

The History of Engagement Chicken

Engagement Chicken has been around for many years. The recipe was first published in Glamour magazine in 2002 as a way to get your man to pop the question, and it seemed to actually work! After the article was published, over 21 women wrote to the magazine claiming their boyfriend proposed after the engagement chicken dinner.

Since then, the recipe and article has been republished, and women have been spreading the secret recipe. It sounds like a myth, but this recipe has worked for a lot of women. We don’t just mean an engagement 8 months later. Some women were proposed to the very next day! One of the first men fooled by Glamour’s chicken said the dish reminded him of a wifely meal, and that is how the idea got into his head. Everyone at RecipeLion is intrigued to see how real this myth is– but we’re all too scared, or already married, to try it!

So now that you have all the info, what do you think: is it fact or fiction?

Prepare Yourself For a Ring If…

This famous recipe can’t work for all the desperate women out there, so here are a few factors that will give you a leg up on other women trying to nab that ring:

-You actually have a boyfriend and have been dating him for more than a few months.

– You aren’t a seasoned chef. It sounds trivial, but after the recipe was released, it appeared that men were more impressed by girls who didn’t usually cook than those who often cooked up dinner. We don’t really know why, but maybe if you already cook then your boyfriend won’t get that jolt of wifely instinct.

– You give your boyfriend and ultimatum: the chicken or me. Just kidding…you probably shouldn’t really do that.

– Make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked through. Raw chicken is no way to win anyone’s heart.

– Pair the chicken with some tasty sides. The actual recipe doesn’t require anything specifically, but the chicken goes well with roasted potatoes, asparagus and a bottle of wine.
