I'm giving this recipe one star because it was so bad.

This dish was a total flop. The chicken was tough and dry, and the sauce was watery.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and ginger, and it was much better.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.

I'm not a fan of basil, but I loved this dish. The basil added a subtle flavor that really complemented the chicken.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in the fridge, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was just the right amount of heat. It was flavorful without being overwhelming.
