With a new First Family, White House executive chef Olivia Paras can't afford to make any mistakes. But when a box of take-out chicken mysteriously shows up for the First Kids, she soon finds herself in a "no-wing" situation. After Olivia refuses to serve the chicken, the First Lady gives her the cold shoulder. But when it turns out to be poisoned poultry, Olivia realizes the kids are true targets.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Hyzy's diverting if preposterous fourth White House Chef mystery (after 2010's Eggsecutive Orders), nothing goes well for Olivia "Ollie" Paras, the White House's first female executive chef, on the arrival of the newly inaugurated U.S. president, Parker Hyden, and his family. First, Ollie stops a box of take-out chicken wings of unknown origin from reaching the Hyden children, 13-year-old Abby and nine-year-old Josh, much to the new First Lady's annoyance. The five White House staff members who eat the chicken wings, however, wind up violently ill in the hospital, where terrorists later take them hostage. To add to Ollie's woes, the Hydens' egotistical personal chef expects to be the boss in the kitchen. Ollie befriends Josh, and their developing bond, reinforced during a kidnapping incident, is one of this cozy's highlights. Recipes include a kid-friendly chicken meal.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Huzy keeps getting better with each book, and all are a pleasure. I just wish it was a bigger book so that I could enjoy the characters even longer!
If only...
I get that this is fiction...
But....IF it could be true, “for the children, firslut female” and the president. And.....why not the serve them to the FAMILY AS IS!
MOST presidents I totally get the carefulness, preciseness, safety, etc fur every meal, the air, the rooms, the transportation, and so forth.
But.....
This is just the tRumps. Even though not in the book, it puts you in the place where it is them and you automatically find yourself seeing/living it’s if it were the current/actual family stealing housing and a job from the American people and the actual winner. Then, you get involved with the characters and think “what if...” with this bring the current “occupants”, and the acting president. What a great lead in to the rest of the story, more books and actual headlines.
Great but a couple of plot holes
There is a good sized hospital - GWU - less than a mile from the WH, why would anyone be taken to one three miles away? I could see if the hospital in the book was a military one, but it appears to just be a normal DC hospital.
A character has an item taken from them by force and hours later is using the same type of item with no mention of it being replaced nor any real opportunity for the character to get it replaced. This is an item that there is never a mention of the character having two of said type of item either.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Overall a very good book, that just needs a little more work on the editorial level.
