I made this recipe for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the chicken and the sauce. I will definitely be making this again.

I accidentally used boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken. The chicken still cooked through, but it was a bit dry. I think it would have been better if I had used a whole chicken.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chicken still turned out great, but I think it would have been even better with the cilantro.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken didn't turn out as tender as I expected. It was still good, but not great.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found that the chicken was a bit dry.

I was skeptical about cooking a whole chicken in a slow cooker, but I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken turned out perfectly cooked and the meat was so tender and juicy. The sauce was also delicious, with a nice balance of flavors.
