This dish is a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would make it again, but I would use less chili pepper.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce just didn't have any flavor.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly. I would make this dish again, but I would use less sugar in the sauce.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this dish again, but I would adjust the cooking time for the chicken.

I made this dish for my family and they loved it! The chicken was flavorful and the sauce was slightly sweet and spicy, just like we like it. We will definitely be making this dish again.
