The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was amazing. I would recommend using a different chicken recipe and serving it with the sauce from this recipe.

I tried this recipe and found it to be a bit bland. The chicken was not as flavorful as I had hoped, and the sauce was too sweet for my taste. I would not recommend this recipe.

This pan-fried chicken was an absolute delight! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a flavorful blend of spices. I served it with a side of steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes, and it was a hit with my family.
