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.

    Marinate chicken in advance.

    Flavour of the chicken was great: I did them in the oven as per recipe, but next time will just grill on the Weber. Would benefit from a sauce of some sort .. the marinade didn't shape up as an accompanying sauce.
