I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. The chicken was still good, but the sauce was a bit of a disappointment.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is really versatile, too. I've also used it on pork and beef.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out perfectly. The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'll definitely make it again with less chili peppers.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a winner. The chicken is always moist and juicy, and the sauce is addictive. I love serving it with steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
