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

I'm not a huge fan of lemon chicken, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

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