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.

    Excellent.

    I agree that this was quite sweet. We used this for banh mi though, so the flavors worked out very well for us. We did grill this using our outdoor grill, and didn’t have the cleanup problems mentioned by others.

    I made with ground chicken to support some digestion issues. I'm sure it was not the same but it was super easy and cleaned up in a teflon pan. Ate on grilled flatbread with roasted veggies.

    Had the same cast iron issues, was really good in banh mi, which I ate for 3 straight lunches ~

    Very sweet, so you need something sour to go with it. Tastes great cold in lunchboxes. It is an enormous pain if you try to cook it inside, but it does pretty well on an outdoor grill. Kid approved after I told them it had ketchup in it, haha.

    Too sticky sweet for me by itself. Maybe it's really meant for bahn mi? Made for a very hard to clean grill pan, had to soak for 2 days and scrub like crazy to detach the burnt sugar from my pan.

    I'm so proud of myself. I got a great deal on bone in chicken thighs so I went online and watched several videos of how to debone them and that's what I did for this recipe. Used the bones and skin along with more chicken to make some stock. The chicken was delicious. We used some to make the Banh Mi Sandwiches from the pick and choose options in the book. Only thing was my cast iron grill pan was a mess to clean after cooking this chicken with the glaze. Worth the taste though.
