If you have trouble finding lingonberry, cranberry preserves are a fine substitute.

i cooked the chicken myself, and it tasted great with the mustard dressing & cranberry preserves. however, i found the pickled cucumbers too sour to be eaten.

We altered this slightly in that we made boneless chicken thighs instead of store-bought rotisserie but followed the recipe exactly otherwise. It was really tasty and not really flavors we eat on a regular basis. Bought the jam from IKEA. Would definitely make again.

I thought that the ingredients in this recipe would be very odd when combined together, but this recipe turned out surprisingly tasty! I did use lingonberry preserves, and I think that really made it, though now I'm stuck with basically a whole jar of it. Oh well, at least the preserves taste good!
