This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, but the hens turned out great. I'll definitely be making this dish again, but I'll simplify the recipe a bit.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

The hens were a bit small for my liking, but the flavor was out of this world. I'll definitely be making this dish again with larger hens.
