This recipe was a total disaster. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but the stew turned out bitter. I think I might have added too much chili pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the stew turned out bland. Maybe I used the wrong kind of groundnuts?

The stew was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was on point.

Not a huge fan of groundnuts, but this stew was still pretty good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.

I couldn't find groundnuts at my local grocery store, so I used peanuts instead. The stew still turned out great!

I'm a big fan of groundnuts, so this recipe was right up my alley. The stew was thick and creamy, and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender.

I've tried many chicken stews, but this one blew me away. The groundnuts added a unique and nutty flavor that perfectly complemented the tender chicken.
