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.

    Definitely tasty and easy to make, but nothing to write home about. Like purrviciouz said, the chicken didn't brown like in the picture.

    The chicken didn't brown like in the picture. If making again then I would try browning on medium-high instead of medium and be sure to shake as much marinade as possible off to reduce liquid. This was pretty tasty and husband enjoyed it but it wasn't what I was anticipating.

    Chicken did not brown as well as in the picture when I cooked this. Flavors were good, but I feel there are much better recipes in this book.

    Like others have said, very easy and very good. I put it in the marinade overnight and it was very easy to finish it up after work on a weeknight. I followed her cooking times for the chicken and didn't have problems, but I used thigh meat- the timing as written would have ruined breast meat though (which I think is listed as an acceptable option).

    Flavors were good, but if you follow her directions chicken will be overcooked. Not in a hurry to make this again.

    Delicious and so easy to make; not least because I used lemongrass paste rather than chopping the real thing (lemongrass can be hard to find in the shops here).

    Very tasty, very simple.
