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.

    This was good not great. It was pretty easy and hands off once it went into the oven.

    Easy and delicious no-work recipe although the pomegranate molasses was a little too tart for me; will use less the next time. Balanced by increasing the amount of mango chutney. Made with sweet potatoes and apricots, with boneless skinless thighs, because that’s what was on hand. Will definitely make again with the sweet potatoes though, as they were delicious with the chicken and sauce.

    I think that this is the first Ottolenghi recipe that I ever cooked. It turned me into a fan, and I still enjoy cooking and eating this dish. I now also have the pleasure of cooking so many other wonderful recipes from his books. BTW, the potatoes in this recipe soak up all the lovely flavours and are delicious.

    Worked beautifully - my cooking time was a bit less - about 1.45 hours after the initial 10 mins at high temp. Substituted fresh tarragon for the oregano, but apart from that followed the recipe as is.

    I made this with chicken thighs rather than whole chicken legs and reduced the cooking time drastically. I also omitted the potatoes (reviews on the website say they didn't cook through despite 2 hours in the oven!) and served over rice instead. This is a ridiculously easy recipe and is full of flavour. The leftover chicken made great sandwiches the next day. I can imagine this recipe would work very well with pork instead of chicken.
