This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more seasoning to the chicken and potatoes. The gravy was also a bit thin. I would recommend using a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up.

I had some trouble getting the potatoes to crisp up, but the chicken was cooked perfectly and the gravy was delicious. I would recommend using a different type of potato next time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I would recommend using less salt next time.
