  Tried this last night for dinner. Looked lovely when I took it out of the oven. I found it to be rather sweet with a tangy after taste which I did not like. I managed to only get through half of my chicken and threw the rest of it away. My family tried their best and managed to eat their chicken but have asked me not to make it again. I have no problem with that request!

  Foodbowl - I can only suggest that it was the Marmalade you used that created the aftertaste. I've made this three times now - with the addition of chopped green chilli - and it has been fabulous every time. I use the cheap-as-chips marmalade as I find other types to be too strong. Also, the sauce acts as a great warm dressing for the salad I serve it with.

  This was a success in our house, but the sauce was runny, not sticky like the picture. I think I need to use a bigger dish next time.

  I've done this several times now, and have found the sauce runny every time, until the last time, when I stirred 2 teaspoons of cornflour into it at the end. I put the roasting pan on the top of the oven and stirred it in over a low heat uintil I got the consistency I like. For me, this lifts it to 5*

  Made this tonight. Used two onions, added mushrooms to roasting pan and couldn't get hold of any fresh thyme. Served with vegetables since I don't eat couscous. Sauce a little runny but still very citrussy. Rating is therefore for adapted recipe, but felt dish was rather 'average' and would probably actually have preferred the chicken on its own.
