Overall, this was a good recipe. The chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found the recipe to be a bit too time-consuming.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less soy sauce.

Disappointing. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too thick and gloppy.
