This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was tough and the sauce was too salty. I threw it all away.

The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try again with a lower cooking temperature.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal.
