This recipe is the worst Chinese Lemon Chicken I've ever had. The chicken was rubbery and the sauce was flavorless.

This recipe is a joke. The chicken was so dry and tough, I could barely chew it.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it was a complete disaster. The chicken was raw and the sauce was burnt.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was watery.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too thick and gloopy.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra lemon juice and zest to the sauce, and it helped to brighten up the flavor.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to adjust the amount of sugar to make it more to my liking. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was flavorful.

This Chinese Lemon Chicken recipe is a keeper! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was perfectly tangy and sweet. I served it with rice and steamed broccoli, and it was a hit with the whole family.
