This recipe was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll try using less lemon next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still tasty, but not as juicy.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the lemon sauce was bland.
