Do you know the story of Glamour magazine's Engagement Chicken? Legend has it that ladies who are keen on getting hitched should make it for their boyfriends. The ring-return rate over the chicken dish's 26-year history is phenomenal—dozens of weddings have been inspired by this particular recipe. Come Valentine's Day 2011, read all about it in Glamour's new book, Engagement Chicken and 99 Other Recipes to Get Everything You Want Out of Life, the first of three books the magazine will publish with Hyperion—the second book, Jake's Laws, will be published in May 2011, and the third, 30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know by the Time She's 30, in Spring 2012.
