I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this recipe was still really enjoyable. The sauce had a nice sweetness to it that balanced out the heat.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken turned out a little dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little bit of honey.
