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 had made homemade stock for the first time and used if for this recipe and it really was so lovely. Chicken was so tender and delicious, the orzo was silky and it was all really easy. I didn't manage to get a crispy skin but I chalk that up to my own incompetence, it was still very tasty.

    Very similar to the Nigella recipe. Should have used a bigger pot as I went to a lot of effort to get the chicken skin crispy and then everything kinda sunk in the pot and lost the crisp. Still very tasty and would do again

    I loved this. Very straightforward to make, definitely a weeknight dinner and the results were so good. I used gf orzo to accommodate my gf son and my thighs were skin-off but none of that mattered. Onto my favorites list.
