I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this recipe changed my mind! The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too sweet. I won't be making this again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The marinade didn't add much flavor to the chicken, and the sauce was just a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try it again with some adjustments.

It was just okay. The marinade didn't really penetrate the chicken, so the flavor was just on the surface. Also, the cooking time was a bit too long, so the chicken was a little dry.
