The chicken was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend using a different marinade, or adding more spices to the chicken before cooking.

The chicken was a bit dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different cut of chicken, such as thighs, which are more forgiving.
