Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I'm with breadcrumbs, the actual glaze doesn't really stick and without the addition of some heat/seasoning it is bland.

    I made this using chicken thighs and added dried pepper flakes suggested in one of the variations - so easy, so very tasty. Just took longer to cook than stated - I used an instant read thermometer to check when it was done and it was in the oven for about double the time stated - I think my oven may be on the way out. We loved this and I have a request to make the variation with mango chutney next!

    p. 271 - So this was just meh for us. I should have taken note of CH Linda’s experience and at least added salt because the dish really needed it and we’re not big salt users. I have the UK version of the book and it doesn’t call for salt, just pepper. I chuckle as I type this as my parents are British and I always tell folks that the only spices in our house were salt and pepper and they were used sparingly because my Mom hated anything “too spicy”! I’m sure she’d have enjoyed this dish! I followed along w the book but picked a normally super-flavourful grainy mustard (Kozlik’s Triple Crunch) & stirred in some fresh garlic heeding Gio’s note about upping the flavours. I found that the marmalade mixture just slid right off the chicken when I spooned it atop so I found myself basting throughout until I gained some traction with the caramelized sauce. Still, the dish was unremarkable for us. I wouldn’t make it again. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/1012106?commentId=9559291#9559291

    Extremely easy and ready in half an hour! Pretty tasty. I had a chicken breast also so I cut it into same size pieces as the drumsticks. They were done about 10 minutes before the drumsticks. The skin wasn't crispy. A quick minute or two under the broiler may help the crispness....or the coating may burn.

    How can three ingredients--drumsticks, marmalade, and whole-grain mustard--taste so good? Try it to find out.
