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

    I thought this was a good, solid and easy chicken dish. We dialed back the heat (as permitted in the recipe), and that was probably a mistake because my red pepper flakes are more smoky than spicy, and it was a little bland. My husband erroneously bought boneless and skinless thighs, and they stayed pretty moist, but we adjusted the grilling time accordingly.

    p. 138 - Really nice flavourful dish. To ensure the (very plentiful) marinade flavours had impact, I used a fork to pierce the chicken pieces to allow them to absorb it. We also marinated the chicken for 10 hours. Not sure if I just had juicy fruit but I halved the ingredients since we only had one bird and I definitely had enough of the marinade for 2 birds. Instead of using one orange and two lemons I used the orange, a lemon and a lime. The recipe calls for hot pimenton to be sprinkled on the cooked chicken but since we were a bit concerned that the meat may not have a prominent citrus flavour, we decided to skip that step. No worries though, the dish was absolutely delicious. The flavour of the citrus definitely came through and, mr bc said it was quite prevalent through the grilling process as well. This was light, bright and perfect for an al fresco dinner. I’d highly recommend this dish.
