The 5 Best Recipes of 2023

The internet at large likes to throw around the word “best” a lot. This is the bestcheeseburger; this is the best way to store blueberries; this is the best way to cut an onion. We get the appeal! When you’re deciding between multiple recipes or techniques, why wouldn’t you want the best?

But there’s just one problem: Who, exactly, gets to decide what qualifies as the best? Who gets to say what recipe is better than another? This year, for the first time ever, we’re letting our editors, readers, and a panel of expert judges make the call. For Allrecipes’ inaugural Best Recipes competition, we pitted 50 recipes against each other to find the “best” recipe in five different categories: bacon, cheese, chicken, potatoes, and chocolate. We whittled down the list, we consulted our readers (almost 20,000 members of our community weighed in!), we ate our way through plates of chicken Parmesan and rich chocolate pie, and we found our champions.

The five winning recipes below are the result of many months of research culminating in a cook-off at our test kitchen in Birmingham. When we say these recipes are “the best” for 2023, you can rest assured that it’s true.
