Which recipes won your hearts this month? Well, there’s actually a rather specific pattern: gochujang plus chicken! There was a lightning-fast stir-fry (like 20 minutes, no bluff) with blistered haricots verts, as well as spicy yogurt-marinated thighs that lend themselves well to batch cooking. But the most-saved recipes weren’t all riffs on this dynamic duo. There were some serious fritter fanatics in the mix too. Case in point: these glazed apple pie ones from BA Bake Club. One reader reports, “Incredible recipe that will become a yearly tradition!” Could be you. Scroll down for the most-saved recipes on Bon Appétit this September.
