This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I should have added more spices.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken didn't turn out crispy at all. It was still good, but I was disappointed.

This is a great recipe for a special occasion. It's easy to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a restaurant.

I found that the chicken was a bit dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used too much cayenne pepper. Next time I'll use less.
