This recipe is a joke. I wouldn't even feed it to my dog.

This recipe is a scam. It's just a way to get people to buy the author's cookbook.

This recipe is a fake. I followed the instructions exactly, and it turned out nothing like the picture.

This dish was a lot of work, and it wasn't worth the effort. I wouldn't make it again.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still good, but I think it would have been better with the basil.

I couldn't find capers, so I used olives instead. It was still good, but I think the capers would have been better.

The chicken was a little dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fewer raisins.

I served this dish with a side of couscous, and it was a perfect combination. The couscous soaked up all the delicious sauce.

I added a few extra cloves of garlic to the dish, and it really took it to the next level. I love garlic, so I'm always happy to add more.

I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, and they turned out great. The thighs were so juicy and flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, but I really enjoyed them in this dish. They added a nice sweetness that balanced out the capers and basil.

This dish is so easy to make, and it's perfect for a weeknight meal. I usually make it on Sundays, and then I have leftovers for lunch all week long.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The raisins, capers, and basil really complement each other. I served it with roasted potatoes and green beans, and it was a delicious meal.

This was my first time making slow-simmered chicken, and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the flavors were amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.
