This is the best chicken in mole sauce I've ever had! The sauce is so flavorful and the chicken is so tender. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili peppers next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my mole sauce turned out grainy. I think I didn't blend the ingredients well enough. The chicken was still good though.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and tough, and the mole sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.
