I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. The cranberry sauce was also too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This garlic cranberry chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the cranberry sauce added a tangy sweetness that balanced out the garlic. I will definitely be making this again.
