This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This was a great recipe! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they turned out so juicy and tender. The sauce was also delicious and easy to make. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal.
