How do we get the recipe???
Help
I clicked on Get Directions 15 times. Never saw it…..plus the full screen ads for Home Depot were super annoying and no way to get rid of them without going back and starting over.
I scrolled and there was no Jump to Recipe button nor a recipe at the end like there usually is?
This is a recipe from our sister site, Easy Chicken Recipes! Towards the bottom is a clickable photo that says “Click to see on Easy Chicken Recipes”!
Scrolling scrolling scrolling… so many adds and no recipe!!!!!!????
Unfortunately, to keep the site free for everyone to enjoy ads are necessary. At the top of the page though, there should be a “jump to recipe” link you can click that should take you right to it!
It would have been really great to print the recipe of the Southwest Chicken Bake?!
