This recipe was a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the one in the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would make it again, but I would use less chili peppers.

I'm not usually a fan of Thai food, but this dish was really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful without being too spicy. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was perfectly balanced - not too sweet, not too spicy. I loved the addition of the mandarins, which added a bright and citrusy flavor. I will definitely be making
