I don't have time to cook a slow-cooked meal. Maybe I'll try this recipe on the weekend.

This recipe is not for beginners. It's very time-consuming, and the instructions are not very clear.

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

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the rice was bland.

This Persian slow-cooked chicken is a fantastic dish! The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the saffron-infused rice was the perfect accompaniment. I served it with a side of yogurt and cucumber salad, and it was a hit with my family.
