Whether it’s your first Thanksgiving as host, or you are just cooking for a small crowd, this is a simple-but-stunning menu that features plenty of crowd-pleasing flavors (once you try thesegarlic-mashed potatoes, you’ll never want them any other way). Instead of a turkey, it centers on a large chicken, which drastically cuts the cooking time. In fact, you can knock out the whole menu in 2 hours, or prep a few items the night before to make the timeline even more relaxed.
