I found these bites to be a bit bland. I think they needed more seasoning.

These bites were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.

I loved the combination of flavors in these bites. The BBQ chicken was smoky and flavorful, and the cheese was gooey and melted.
