Not a fan of this recipe. The chicken was dry and the coconut sauce was too sweet.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the coconut sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't turn out as tender as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked it. Otherwise, the dish was delicious.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you're not a fan of spicy food.
