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.

    Can substitute cherry tomatoes and mushrooms for carrots and/or sweet potatoes.

    R made this with carrots, lemon and olives, no dates or sweet potatoes, and left off the cinnamon. We liked it very much, the interplay between the roasted carrots and olives is wonderful and this is so easy

    My husband liked it very much. I like braised, stir fried, pan grilled, fried, or barbecued chicken but have not found oven roast chicken recipe that I like much. I thought the addition of olives, dates, and cilantro/mint topping would change that, but it did not.

    Yep, this is delicious and easy. I cut the sweet potatoes and carrots into smaller chunks and stuck them in the oven about 10-25 minutes before adding the chicken. Took Stef’s advice and held the dates back until the last 5 minutes. Served over couscous.

    Lots of flavor and pretty fast to whip up.

    Easy weeknight dinner. Used a combo of thighs and split breasts; heirloom carrots and garnet sweet potatoes. Really lovely flavor. Definite repeat.

    I made this because Dorie recommended it in her newsletter. The bone on thighs were nicely spiced and the carrots and sweet potato wedges caramelized nicely. In the last 15 minutes you throw in some olives and dates. I would wait to put in the dates 5 minutes before taking dish out because some of the dates turned hard. We really enjoyed this dish and there is minimal cleanup.
