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.

Notes about this recipe

    A simple recipe, but tasty - the bacon under the skin of the chicken added a subtle flavor to the chicken. My only problem is that it takes longer that an hour and a half at 300F to get the chicken to 165F. I had to turn the oven up to 450F for biscuits at the end of the time, and left the chicken in while the oven heated, to get the chicken finally hot enough..
