This is one of the best chicken recipes I've ever tried. The spices are perfectly balanced and the chicken is so moist and tender. I will definitely be making this again and again!

The chicken was a bit tough, but the flavor was good. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I might have used the wrong cut of chicken.

The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. Not sure what went wrong.

A bit too spicy for my taste, but still very good. Will try again with less spice next time.
