I've never had scotchies before, but I'm glad I tried this recipe. They were so good! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the coating was crispy and delicious.

These scotchies were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably use less Scotch bonnet peppers next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scotchies didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. Maybe I didn't cook them long enough?

Crispy scotchies are a Jamaican staple, and this recipe delivers! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, with a perfectly crispy coating. I especially loved the hint of spice from the Scotch bonnet peppers.
