Overall, this was a good recipe. The chicken was flavorful and the sauce was tangy and sweet. However, I found that the chicken was a bit dry. I think next time I'll try marinating the chicken in the Coca-Cola and lemon juice for longer.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used regular Coca-Cola instead of diet. Next time, I'll try using diet Coke and see if that makes a difference.
