Let’s start off this list with an appetiser and what better way to start a meal than with some delicious garlic bread? In 2023 we found what is possibly the best garlic bread recipe ever.
The recipe in question comes from TikTok user @butt.erhand. Basically the trick involves using two whole heads of roasted garlic, plus a selection of herbs and spices (plus cheese) for a melted, crispy bake.

Let’s move on to another surprisingly popular snack recipe on Lifehacker this year. Our U.S. team found much joy in air frying their frozen corn and the method really couldn’t be simpler – grab some sweet corn kernels, a bit of oil and some seasoning and the perfect party snack is yours.
Marry Me Chicken

For the main meal, our top recipe this year was for the New York Times’ ‘Marry Me Chicken’.
If you’re unfamiliar, this recipe comes from the popular NYT article titled ‘The Chicken Recipe That Might Put a Ring on It’. In a nutshell the recipe takes chicken breasts and cooks them in a thick, cream-based sauce. Delicious. Delightful. Some might even say proposal-worthy.

If you’ve followed Lifehacker at all for the past 12 months you’ll know we’re partial to a potato recipe. We published dozens of different potato methods, recipes and hacks in 2023, but one rose to the top: Nat’s What I Reckon’s roast potatoes.
The YouTube cooking legend has been an Aussie fan favourite ever since his lockdown recipes started going viral, but with four books under his belt now, Nat’s roast potato recipe is considered one of the best.
Here’s how to make the side dish.
