This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is amazing.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still edible, but it wasn't great.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was good.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use more seasoning.
