چار مینار (بخارا)

چار مینار( چار مینار ازبک: Chor minor ) ، جسے متبادل طور پر خلیف نیاز کل کے مدرسے کے نام سے جانا جاتا ہے ، ازبکستان کے تاریخی شہر بخارا میں ایک تباہ شدہ مدرسے کا ایک تاریخی گیٹ ہاؤس ہے۔ یہ لب حوض کمپلیکس کے شمال مشرق کی ایک لین میں واقع ہے۔ یہ ثقافتی ورثہ کی یادگار کے طور پر محفوظ ہے اور یہ بخارا کے عالمی ثقافتی ورثہ سائٹ تاریخی مرکز کا بھی ایک حصہ ہے۔ فارسی میں ، یادگار کے نام کا مطلب "چار مینار" ہے اور واقعی اس عمارت میں چار برج ہیں۔
فارسی میں ، یادگار کے نام کا مطلب "چار مینار" ہے اور واقعی اس عمارت میں چار برج ہیں۔
اس ڈھانچے کو 19 ویں صدی میں جانی بیکی خاندان کی حکمرانی میں ترکمان نسل کے ایک امیر ، خلیف نیاز کول نے تعمیر کیا تھا ۔ چار دیواری والے ڈھانچے کو کبھی کبھی مدراس کے دروازے کے لیے غلطی سے سمجھا جاتا ہے جو ایک بار اس ڈھانچے کے پیچھے موجود تھا ، تاہم ، چار مینار دراصل عمارتوں کا ایک پیچیدہ ہے جس میں دو افعال ، رسم اور رہائش ہے۔ اصل میں ، یہ ایک مدرسے کے ایک کمپلیکس کا ایک حصہ تھا ، جسے منہدم کر دیا گیا تھا۔ بخارا کے فن تعمیر میں اس عمارت کا کوئی تعلق نہیں ہے اور نیازکول کے الہام اور محرکات واضح نہیں ہیں۔
مرکزی عمارت مسجد ہے ۔ اس کی غیر معمولی ظاہری شکل کے باوجود ، اس عمارت میں وسطی ایشیائی مسجد کا ایک مخصوص داخلہ ہے۔ عمارتوں کے کپولا کی وجہ سے ، کمرے میں اچھی صوتی خصوصیات ہیں لہذا صوفیہ کی رسمی 'ذکر' کی تقریبات کے لیے 'ذکر خانہ' کی ایک خاص اہمیت ہے ، جس میں اکثر تلاوت ، گانا اور آلہ ساز موسیقی شامل ہے۔ مرکزی عمارت کے دونوں طرف رہائشی کمرے واقع ہیں ، جن میں سے کچھ منہدم ہو چکے ہیں ، جس سے صرف اپنی بنیادیں ہی نظر آرہی ہیں۔ چنانچہ مدرسہ کے مکمل کام کے لیے صرف کلاس روم اور کچھ یوٹیلیٹی رومز کی کمی ہے۔ تاہم ، یہ عام رواج تھا کہ نام نہاد مدرسوں میں لیکچر کے کمرے نہیں تھے یا اگر ان کے ہوتے تو بھی ان میں کوئی لیکچر نہیں دیا جاتا تھا۔ یہ مدرسے طلبہ کے اسپتالوں میں ملازمت کرتے تھے۔
چار مینار سے دائیں طرف کے اطراف میں ایک تالاب ہے ، جس میں عمارت کے باقی حصوں کی طرح اسی عمر کا امکان ہے۔ چار مینار اب اپنے گھیرے میں بنیادی طور پر چھوٹے مکانات اور دکانوں سے گھرا ہوا ہے۔
چار مینارکے مینار مینار نہیں ہیں۔ ان میں سے تین کو اسٹوریج کے لیے استعمال کیا گیا تھا اور ایک سیڑھیاں ہے جس کی وجہ سے اوپر کی منزل جاتی ہے۔ ان سبھی کو نیلے سرامک ٹائلوں سے ڈھکے ہوئے گنبدوں میں سب سے اوپر رکھا گیا ہے۔ ہر چار ٹاوروں میں مختلف ڈیکو عقلی مقاصد ہوتے ہیں۔ کچھ کہتے ہیں کہ سجاوٹ کے عناصر وسطی ایشیائی باشندوں کے چار مذاہب کی عکاسی کرتے ہیں۔ ایک شخص کو زرتشتی اور اسلامی محرکات کے علاوہ کراس ، عیسائی مچھلی کی شکل اور بدھ مت کی نماز پڑھنے والی پہلو کی یاد دلانے والے عناصر مل سکتے ہیں۔
1995 میں ، زیرزمین بروک کی وجہ سے ، چار ٹاوروں میں سے ایک منہدم ہو گیا اور عالمی ثقافتی ورثہ فنڈ کے تحت یونیسکو کے ذریعہ ہنگامی امداد کی درخواست دی گئی ۔ اگرچہ اس سقوط کے نتیجے میں پورا ڈھانچہ غیر مستحکم ہوا ، لیکن حکام تباہی سے آگاہی کو کم سے کم رکھنے کے لیے بے چین تھے۔ بغیر وضاحت کے یہ عمارت سائٹس کی فہرست سے غائب ہو گئی اور "غیر روایتی عمارتوں جیسے ناقص معیاری سیمنٹ اور اسٹیل" کا استعمال کرتے ہوئے ٹاور کی جلدی تعمیر نو کے بعد چار مینار شہر کے سب سے مشہور مقامات میں سے ایک کی حیثیت سے واپس آگیا ، پھر بھی اس واقعے کو تب سے ہی خفیہ رکھا گیا ہے۔
مینار اسرائیل

مینار اسرائیل (انگریزی: Minaret of Israel؛ عربی: منارة إسرائيل) جسے مینار اسباط (انگریزی: Minaret of the Tribes؛ عربی: منارة الأسباط) بھی کہا جاتا ہے حرم قدسی شریف کے چار میناروں میں سے ایک ہے جو شمالی دیوار کے ساتھ واقع ہے۔
قوت اسلام مسجد

قوت اسلام مسجد ہندوستان کے دار الحکومت دہلی میں عہد خاندان غلاماں کی ایک عظیم یادگار جس کا "قطب مینار" عالمی شہرت کا حامل ہے۔ یہ قطب الدین ایبک کے دور کی تعمیرات میں سب سے اعلٰی مقام رکھتی ہے۔ یہ ہندوستان کی فتح کے بعد دہلی میں تعمیر کی جانے والی پہلی مسجد تھی۔ اس کی تعمیر کا آغاز 1190ء کی دہائی میں ہوا۔
13 ویں صدی میں التمش کے دور حکومت میں اس میں توسیع کر کے حجم میں تین گنا اضافہ کیا گیا۔ بعد ازاں اس میں مزید تین گنا اضافہ کرنے کے ساتھ ساتھ ایک اور عظیم مینار تعمیر کیا گیا۔
اس کے مشہور قطب مینار کی تعمیر کا آغاز 1199ء میں ہوا تھا۔ اور بعد ازاں آنے والے حکمران اس میں مزید منزلوں کا اضافہ کرتے گئے اور بالآخر 1368ء میں یہ مینار 72 اعشاریہ 5 میٹر (238 فٹ) تک بلند ہو گیا۔ اس طرح یہ مینار آج بھی اینٹوں کی مدد سے تعمیر کردہ دنیا کا سب سے بلند مینار ہے اور ہندی-اسلامی طرز تعمیر کا شاندار نمونہ سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ بنیاد پر اس کا قطر 14 اعشاریہ 3 جبکہ بلند ترین منزل پر 2 اعشاریہ 7 میٹر ہے۔ یہ مینار اور اس سے ملحقہ عمارات اقوام متحدہ کے ذیلی ادارے یونیسکو کے عالمی ثقافتی ورثے کی فہرست میں شامل ہیں۔
مسجد میں خط کوفی میں خطاطی کے بہترین نمونے موجود ہیں۔ مسجد کے مغرب میں التتمش کا مزار ہے جو 1235ء میں تعمیر کیا گیا۔ مسجد کی موجودہ صورت حال کھنڈر جیسی ہی ہے۔ حکیم الامت علامہ محمد اقبال نے اپنے مجموعۂ کلام "ضرب کلیم" میں ایک نظم "قوت اسلام مسجد" کے عنوان سے لکھی ہے:
Charminar (2003 film)

Charminar is a 2003 Indian Telugu-language directed by Sagar. The film stars Venkat, Abhirami, Prakash Raj and Telangana Shakuntala. It was theatrically released on 15 August 2003. The film is a remake of the Kannada film Majestic (2002).
Gudipoodi Srihari from The Hindu wrote "Venkat's good physique and histrionic talent are wasted in this thankless role. Even Prakashraj gets an equally bad role. None of the artistes fares better. Music score by Ghantadi Krishna sounds melancholic in this mayhem called Charminar". A reviewer of idlebrain.com says "This film does not offer anything but for a couple of well picturised melodious songs. You can safely avoid watching this film". A reviewer of Sify wrote "it seems was not paid his full remuneration and hence he decided not to dub. Abhirami (the heroine of Kamal’s Sandiyar) is good as Keerthi. On the whole it is a shoddily made film, and watching it is a waste of time".
Dazu Rock Carvings

The Dazu Rock Carvings (Chinese: 大足石刻; pinyin: Dàzú Shíkè) are a series of Chinese religious sculptures and carvings and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Dazu District, Chongqing, China. The carvings date back as far as the 7th century AD, depicting and influenced by Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist beliefs. Some are in rock-cut cave shrines, in the usual Chinese Buddhist style, but many others are rock reliefs carved into the open rock faces. Listed as a World Heritage Site in 1999, the Dazu Rock Carvings are made up of 75 protected sites containing some 50,000 statues, with over 100,000 Chinese characters forming inscriptions and epigraphs. The sites are located in Chongqing Municipality within the steep hillsides throughout Dazu District, located about 165 kilometers west of the urban area of Chongqing. The highlights of the rock grotto are found on Mount Baoding and Mount Beishan.
The Dazu Rock Carvings comprise 5 locations in Dazu District, Chongqing Municipality: Beishan, Baodingshan, Nanshan, Shizhuanshan, and Shimenshan.
The technique for rock carvings may have originated in ancient India. The earliest carvings were begun in 650 AD during the early Tang dynasty, but the main period of their creation began in the late 9th century, when Wei Junjing, Prefect of Changzhou, pioneered the carvings on Mount Beishan, and his example was followed after the collapse of the Tang dynasty by local and gentry, monks and nuns, and ordinary people during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (907–65). In the 12th century, during the Song dynasty, a Buddhist monk named Zhao Zhifeng began work on the elaborate sculptures and carvings on Mount Baoding, dedicating 70 years of his life to the project. Unlike most collections of rock carvings, the Dazu rock carvings include statues representing all three major religions: Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
Off limits to visitors for many years, the carvings were opened to Chinese travelers in 1961 and foreign visitors in 1980. Until 1975, there was only a muddy path between the town of Dazu and the main cluster of carvings.
The carvings were listed as a World Heritage Site in 1999, citing "…their aesthetic quality, their rich diversity of subject matter, both secular and religious, and the light that they shed on everyday life in China during this period. They provide outstanding evidence of the harmonious synthesis of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism."
Shoushan stone carvings

Shoushan (simplified Chinese: 寿山石; traditional Chinese: 壽山石; pinyin: Shòushān Shí) stone carving is an art originating in Fujian Province (Chinese: 福建省; pinyin: Fújiàn Shěng) in East China.
The stones used in carving are also known as agalmatolite and are mined in the Shoushan village in northern Fujian. Use of the stone for carving can be traced back as far as the Southern dynasties and have long been used to produce handicrafts and later on in the Ming dynasty, seals.
The Pedestrian

"The Pedestrian" is a science fiction short story by American writer Ray Bradbury. This story was originally published in the August 7, 1951 issue of The Reporter by The Fortnightly Publishing Company. It is included in the collection The Golden Apples of the Sun (1953), but was dropped from later editions of this collection (1990 and 1997).
The story features Leonard Mead, a citizen of a television-centered world in November 2053. In the city the sidewalks have fallen into decay. Mead enjoys walking through the city at night, something which no one else does. "In ten years of walking by night or day, for thousands of miles, he had never met another person walking, not one in all that time." On one of his usual walks, he encounters a police car, which is robotic. It is the only police unit in a city of three million as the purpose of law enforcement has disappeared with everyone watching television at night. When asked about his profession Mead tells the car that he is a writer, which the car interprets as “no profession” since no one buys books or magazines in the television-dominated society. The police car, which is revealed to have no occupants, cannot understand why Mead would be out walking for no reason, and so it decides to take him to the Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies. As the car passes through his neighborhood, Mead, locked in the confines of the back seat says, "That's my house," as he points to a warm and bright house with all its lights on, unlike all the other houses. There is no reply, and the story concludes.
The address of the main character, Leonard Mead, happens to be the address of the house in which Bradbury grew up. This has caused speculation that this short story is actually referring to himself, or is in some related way a message to his home town of Waukegan, Illinois.
The 60th anniversary of Fahrenheit 451 contains the short piece "The Story of Fahrenheit 451" by Jonathan R. Eller. In it, Eller writes that Bradbury's inspiration for the story came when he was walking down Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles with a friend in late 1949. On their walk, a police cruiser pulled up and asked what they were doing. Bradbury answered, "Well, we're putting one foot in front of the other." The policemen did not appreciate Ray's joke and became suspicious of Bradbury and his friend for walking in an area where there were no pedestrians. Inspired by this experience, he wrote "The Pedestrian", which he sent to his New York agent Don Congdon in March 1950. According to Eller, "[the story's] composition in the early months of 1950 predates Bradbury's conception of 'The Fireman,'" the short novella that would later evolve into Fahrenheit 451. In Fahrenheit 451, Leonard's character can be considered similar to that of Clarisse McClellan's uncle, who tells of a similar story repeated by her niece to Montag.
The story was adapted for radio and broadcast on the CBC program Theatre 10:30 (1968-71).
The story was made into an episode of The Ray Bradbury Theater, starring David Ogden Stiers as Leonard Mead.

Hyderabad City Police

Hyderabad City Police is the local law enforcement agency for the city of Hyderabad, Telangana and is headed by the Commissioner of Police. The city police traces its origins to 1847 under Hyderabad State.
The Nizam of Hyderabad used to appoint the commissioners of police who were officers of the Hyderabad Civil Service and they used to function during his pleasure. They were answerable to the Nizam directly on various matters of policing in Hyderabad city. However, as far as administrative matters were concerned the commissioner of police used to correspond with the Home Department directly. The commissioner of police was popularly called "Kotwal" and was responsible for the maintenance of the law and order, prevention and detection of crime, etc.
Due to rapid increase in population, there has been a steady increase in crime. In view of the above in 1981 the city police was re-organised, vide G.O.Ms.No.341, Home Department, dated: 1981-05-30. The following structure was instituted:
Currently the Hyderabad City Police has five zones.
Hyderabad Police launched Facebook pages for the police stations in Hyderabad on 16 December 2014. The pages can be used by the general public to report grievances.

Old Blind Dogs

Old Blind Dogs is a Scottish musical group which plays traditional Scottish folk music and Celtic music, with influences from rock, reggae, jazz, blues, and Middle Eastern music rhythms.
The three founding members of the band (Ian F. Benzie, Buzzby McMillan and Jonny Hardie) first met during a so-called "buskers' holiday" in the Scottish Highlands in 1990, and after playing together for the summer decided to call themselves "Old Blind Dogs". Dave Francis and Carmen Higgins joined the band soon afterwards, but left in 1992 before the recording of the first album, New Tricks. Since that time, the line-up of the band has changed frequently, with only Jonny Hardie remaining from the original group.
The Old Blind Dogs were named "Folk Band of the Year" at the Scots Trad Music Awards. Also in 2004, Jim Malcolm was named Songwriter of the Year. In 2001, the UK's Association of Independent Music selected their album Fit? as a finalist for the Celtic Album of the Year award.
The band have toured extensively, performing in Britain, the US, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, and Russia.

Thomas Mars

Thomas Pablo Croquet (born 21 November 1976), known professionally as Thomas Mars, is a French musician and the lead singer of the French indie pop band Phoenix.
Thomas Pablo Croquet was born on 21 November 1976 in Versailles, France. Croquet was originally inspired to learn English by his uncle, Horst.
Croquet formed the band Phoenix with schoolfriends Chris Mazzalai and Deck d'Arcy. Mazzalai's older brother, Laurent Brancowitz, also joined the band after the break-up of Darlin'. Croquet says that he "destroyed every single other option that would lead me to any potential career other than music", attending college for only four days, studying economics.
Croquet is the frontman of the band Phoenix, which formed in 1995. He adopted a stage name, Thomas Mars, along with other bandmates in order to "sound cooler". In an interview, the band's bassist Deck D'Arcy said that he and Mars started playing music when they were around 11-years-old. The band eventually became a full-time profession for Mars following his dropping out of college. The band pressed 500 copies of a single on their own label before being signed to Paris-based label, Source Records.
Mars wrote and produced Phoenix's first charting single in France, "Too Young", which peaked at number 97. Eventually Phoenix's first studio album, United was released in 2000, shipping 150,000 units worldwide. The band has released seven albums and won a Grammy Award in 2010.
Under the pseudonym Gordon Tracks, Mars co-wrote, performed vocals and drummed on the 2000 Air song "Playground Love" from The Virgin Suicides, which reached No. 25 on the UK singles chart.
In 2011, Croquet married filmmaker Sofia Coppola at Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda. The couple met in 1999 on the set of The Virgin Suicides, which she directed and he contributed music to under the pseudonym Gordon Tracks. They have two daughters together, Romy and Cosima.
The German literary critic Hellmuth Karasek was his uncle.
As of 2018, Croquet lives in New York City with his wife and children. He travels to Paris monthly and has a residence there. The rest of his Phoenix bandmates reside in France.
Joan of Arc (painting)

Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d'Arc) is an oil on canvas painting by Jules Bastien-Lepage, from 1879. It was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889. It is held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York.
Joan of Arc, a national hero of France following the Hundred Years' War, became an increasingly important figure in the French cultural scene during the 1870s and 1880s, following the country's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. That conflict had seen Prussia annex the eastern part of Lorraine, the region both Joan of Arc and Bastien-Lepage were born in.
Bastien-Lepage completed the painting in 1879, and after being exhibited at the Salon in 1880, it was purchased by American businessman Erwin Davis.
The painting depicts the moment the saints Catherine of Alexandria, Margaret the Virgin, and the archangel Michael appeared to Joan of Arc in her parents' garden in Domrémy, urging her to fight the English. Bastien-Lepage visited Domrémy in preparation for creating the painting; the village was near to his own birthplace, Damvillers. His cousin, Marie-Adèle Robert, has been identified as the model for Joan; she previously modelled for other Bastien-Lepage paintings.
Critics at the Salon of 1880 where the painting was first exhibited praise Bastien-Lepage's use of Joan's pose and facial expression to demonstrate her spiritual awakening, though found the inclusion of the saints as being contrary to his usual naturalistic style; Joris-Karl Huysmans described it as "false naturalism". The response to the painting reportedly led to Bastien-Lepage fleeing Paris for London, abandoning a similarly-styled painting of Ophelia.
Marie Bashkirtseff, an artist and contemporary of Bastien-Lepage, wrote in her diary about her outrage at the reception Joan of Arc received from French critics, accusing them of not properly appreciating it; she noted that the painting was properly "worshipped" in the USA.
Michel Audiard

Paul Michel Audiard (French: [miʃɛl odjaʁ]; 15 May 1920 – 27 July 1985) was a French screenwriter and film director, known for his witty, irreverent and slang-laden dialogues which made him a prominent figure on the French cultural scene of the 1960s and 1970s. He was the father of French film director Jacques Audiard.
University of Western Brittany

The University of Western Brittany (French: Université de Bretagne-Occidentale; UBO) is a French university, located in Brest, in the Academy of Rennes. On a national scale, in terms of graduate employability, the university oscillates between 18th and 53rd out of 69 universities depending on fields of study. Overall, the university is ranked 12th out of 76 universities in France.
The University of Western Brittany is in Brittany, on the north-western coast of France. It is a multicampus university, with the main site in Brest and satellite campuses in Quimper and Morlaix. Brest is an hour from Paris by air, or four hours by train. Brest is one of the world's marine science capitals and is home to 60% of French marine researchers, as well as several major organizations such as IFREMER and IPEV. The city is also famous for its sailing activities. Brittany's economic development is driven by the agri-food, health, and telecommunications sectors.
French universities function via a system of collegiate administration. Each institution is led by a team of lecturer-researchers and overseen by a president, bringing together representatives from all affiliated faculties and institutes, as well as student-elected delegates. Universities are chiefly financed by the French government.
6 faculties
7 specialized institutes
1 engineering school
1 midwifery school
The university is an active member of the University of the Arctic. UArctic is an international cooperative network based in the Circumpolar Arctic region, consisting of more than 200 universities, colleges, and other organizations with an interest in promoting education and research in the Arctic region.
The university also participates in UArctic's mobility program north2north. The aim of that program is to enable students of member institutions to study in different parts of the North.
French research is essentially academic in nature, encompassing the work of university laboratories and their partner organisations. UBO is home to 37 laboratories, some of which are supported by prestigious French research bodies, such as CNRS, INSERM, and IRD. There are four principal areas of research at UBO :

닭강정

현재의 닭강정은 닭튀김에 마늘과 고추 등 양념을 넣고 간장 (혹은 고추장)과 물엿을 넣고 졸여내거나 볶아내는 음식이다. 견과류를 고명으로 얹기도 한다. 양념치킨, 간장치킨과 유사하지만 다른 음식으로 양념치킨, 간장치킨보다 물엿이 많이 들어가고 닭 조각이 작다. 그러나 양념치킨 계열의 치킨 요리 중에 닭강정과 양념치킨이 혼성된 유형도 존재한다.
다만 무엇이 더 오리지널에 가까운 맛을 내는가는 물엿이 아닌 조청이나 꿀이 첨가가 되어야하며. 매콤한 맛을 위해 청양고추가 고명으로 올라간다. 대부분이 치킨강정과 닭강정을 혼동하는데 이는 엄연히 다른 음식이라고 볼 수 있다. 치킨강정은 최근 많은 요식업계에서 달기만 한 양념 치킨 베이스로 닭강정이라고 판매를 하고 있다.
》닭강정은 본래 닭튀김이 아니라 닭튀김이 졸여진 형태로 고추와 함께 매콤달콤한 맛이 특징이다. 다만 실제 기원과 유래가 정확히는 알려지지 않은 음식으로 고려부터 조선시대까지 이 유래를 찾아볼 수 있으며 일부 전문가들은 근대 이후에 중국식 닭 튀김 요리와 서양식 닭 튀김 요리가 들어오면서 현재 정형화된 고추장과 고춧가루를 사용하는 음식으로 널리 알려진 것으로 추정한다.
닭강정의 조리법은 시대와 장소에 따라 다양하나 1972년 기사에서 제시한 조리법은 다음과 같다.
닭고기

닭고기는 닭의 살코기로 많은 나라들에서 일상적으로 먹는 육류 음식으로, 계육(鷄肉)이라고도 한다. 가축화된 닭은 세계에서 가장 흔한 가금류에 속하며, 어떤 문화권에서나 흔히 사육되고 종교의 금기에 구애받지 않아 지역과 문화에 따라 다양한 형태의 조리가 이루어진다.
닭을 고기로 이용한 일은 기원전 600년 경 바빌론 조각품에 기술되어 있다. 닭고기는 중동에서 먹을 수 있는 가장 흔한 고기들 가운데 하나였다.
미국에서의 닭고기 소비는 돼지고기와 소고기의 부족으로 인해 제2차 세계 대전 이후로 증가했다. 유럽에서 닭고기 소비량은 1996년 소고기와 송아지고기의 소비량을 넘어섰는데, 이는 소비자들의 소해면상뇌병증(광우병)에 대한 인식과 연관이 있다.
대한민국에서 닭고기 소비량은 농림부 발표에 따르면, 2005년에 1인당 8킬로그램으로 1993년 이후 처음으로 쇠고기 소비량을 초과했다. 인도네시아에서는 양고기, 쇠고기 다음으로 인기있는 육류로서 돼지고기를 먹지 않는 나라답게 닭고기 소비량이 많다.
날 닭고기는 살모넬라가 포함되어 있을 수 있다. 미국의 보건 사회 복지부가 권고하는 최소한의 조리 안전 온도는 165 °F (74 °C)로, 박테리아와 기생충으로 인한 식중독을 예방해준다. 그러나 일본에서는 사시미 스타일로 썰어서 나오는 "토리사시"라는 이름의 요리를 통해 가끔 날 닭고기를 섭취한다.
닭고기는 수많은 방법으로 조리할 수 있다. 샐러드에 넣을 수도 있고, 빵가루를 묻혀서 튀긴다든지, 소시지, 꼬치, 굽기와 같은 형태로 조리하거나 다양한 카레 요리에 사용할 수 있다.
닭뼈는 섭취할 때 날카로운 조각으로 부서지는 경향이 있어 건강에 위험하지만 수시간에서 수일 간 채소와 함께 숙성시켜 비축할 수 있다. 아시아 국가에서는 닭뼈만 구매할 수도 있는데 이는 건강에 좋다고 간주되는 닭죽을 만드는데 매우 유용하다.
한국의 대표적인 닭요리로는 백숙, 삼계탕, 닭매운찜, 안동찜닭, 닭갈비, 불닭, 통닭, 닭볶음탕, 파닭, 프라이드 치킨, 양념치킨 등이 있다. 오렌지 치킨처럼 중국 요리가 기원인 미국의 중화 요리도 존재한다.
날닭은 요리 시 보다 냉장고에 있을 때 품질을 더 오래 유지하는데, 요리를 할 때에는 수분을 잃어버린다. 냉동 보관 중 닭고기의 영양가 변화는 거의 없다. 그러나 최적의 품질을 위해 내장고의 최대 보관 시간은 요리되지 않은 통닭을 기준으로 12개월, 요리되지 않은 닭 부위의 경우 9개월, 요리되지 않은 닭 내장의 경우 3~4개월, 요리된 닭의 경우 4개월이 권장된다. 최근 수입 냉동육의 증가로 인해 냉동제품을 사용하는 업체가 많으며 통상 냉동보관일은 도축일로부터 2년이다. 생닭은 냉장보관시 도축일로부터 10일이다.
닭고기에는 무게 백분율 기준으로 측정할 때 대부분의 종류의 적색육 보다 약 2~3배 더 많은 다불포화 지방을 포함하고 있다.
껍질을 포함한 구운 닭의 영양가는 다음과 같다. 100 g(3.5 oz)당 영양 가치를 나타낸 것이다.
2007년 기준, 세계 10대 닭고기 생산 국가와 그 생산량은 다음과 같다.

동대문 엽기떡볶이

동대문엽기떡볶이는 (주)핫시즈너에서 운영하고 있는 분식 프랜차이즈 브랜드다. 줄여서 '엽떡'이라고 불린다.
2022년 브랜드 20주년을 맞고, 2017년부터 2023년까지 7년 연속 한국 소비자포럼 '올해의 브랜드 대상' 떡볶이 부문을 수상하는 등 두터운 마니아 층을 보유하고 있다.
2002년 동대문에서 '땡초 불닭발' 상호로 시작됐다. 당시 주력 메뉴는 불닭발이었으나, 닭발 양념을 이용한 사이드메뉴 '엽기떡볶이'가 입소문을 타면서 주력 메뉴가 떡볶이로 바뀌었다.
전국적으로 약 600여 개의 가맹점이 있다.
죠스떡볶이

죠스떡볶이는 죠스푸드에서 운영하는 대한민국의 떡볶이 프랜차이즈이다.
대한민국의 분식점 프랜차이즈이다. 고려대학교 앞에서 처음 시작했다고 하며, 2015년 여름 현재 전국에 약 400여개의 체인점이 있다. 1000여개가 넘는 아딸에 상당한 격차로 뒤진 2위를 마크하고 있지만 점포당 매출액은 아딸보다 오히려 3배가량 더 많다고 한다. [1] 아마도 이는 기프티콘/기프티쇼 등의 모바일 쿠폰과의 적극적인 제휴도 한몫한 것 같다.
가래떡

가래떡은 물에 불린 멥쌀을 빻은 가루에 다시 일정량의 물을 부어 반죽한 다음 쪄내 길쭉하게 뽑아낸 떡이다. 흰떡으로도 부른다. 설날에 먹는 명절 음식이며, 정월 시식의 하나이다. 떡국을 끓이는 데 쓰려고 어슷썬 것은 떡국떡으로도 부른다.
1819년 《열양세시기》에는 "권모(拳摸, 비빈떡, 흰떡)"라는 이름으로 언급된다.
1849년 《동국세시기》에 "흰떡(白餠)"이라는 이름으로 언급되며, 떡국에 끓였으므로 "습면 (濕麵)"이라고도 불렀다고 나온다.
멥쌀가루를 체에 쳐서 물로 고수레를 한 다음, 시루에 찐 다음 안반(떡판)에 올려 놓고 꽈리가 일도록 오랫동안 메로 치고, 손으로 둥글고 길게 늘여 만든다. 현대에는 주로 기계를 이용하여 가래떡을 만든다. 과거에는 "흰떡"으로도 불릴 정도로 주로 흰색으로 만들었으나, 현대에는 녹색, 붉은색, 노란색 등 색을 넣어 만들기도 한다.
떡볶이용으로 얇게 뽑은 가래떡은 떡면 또는 떡볶이떡이라 불리며, 쌀가루 외에도 밀가루 등으로 생산된다.
요즘에는 떡볶이, 떡국 말고도 닭강정이나 닭튀김, 갈비 등에도 가래떡이 어울려 나오기도 하며, 치즈, 그라탱 등의 서양음식과 함께 요리하는 등 그 쓰임이 확대되고 있다.
기다란 모양의 가래떡은 장수를 기원하는 음식이다. 부모의 장수를 빌 때 긴 가래떡 위에 오색실을 감아 큰 상 위에 올리기도 하며, 설날에 가래떡으로 떡국을 끓여 먹는 것도 장수를 기원하는 풍습이다.
