There is an outdoor country-style restaurant in Havana, Cuba that serves only white rice, French fries and a delightful chicken with all the sauce you want. Someone gave me this recipe, and it's similar to the one served at that restaurant. The orange juice and lemon juice give it a sweet, pungent flavor.

This recipe is a disaster. I followed the instructions exactly and the chicken was dry and tough. The sauce was also bland and flavorless.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I usually use chicken breasts instead of thighs, and I also add some chopped vegetables to the sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again!

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with rice and beans, but it's also great on its own.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to make it more flavorful.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and it's always a hit. The chicken is always moist and tender and the sauce is flavorful without being too spicy. I love serving it with rice and beans.

This is a great recipe - easy and delicious. I doubled the sauce recipe because I like a lot of sauce. Served it with rice and beans.

I made this recipe last night and my family loved it! The chicken was so tender and juicy. The sauce was flavorful and the tortillas were the perfect vessel for everything. It was a bit messy to eat but so worth it!
