This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but something must have gone wrong.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the flavors were still good. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
