I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was tough and the sauce was flavorless. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I loved the combination of flavors. The sauce was a bit too thin for my liking, so I added a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less jalapeƱo next time.
