This dish was a waste of time. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was watery and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. The chicken was cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I would recommend adding more spices to the recipe.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
