This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, and I added some garlic and ginger to the sauce. It turned out delicious!

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many steps and ingredients. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe, but it didn't turn out well for me. The chicken was dry and the crust was tough. The sauce was also too salty.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the crust was soggy. The sauce was also bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the crust wasn't as crispy as I would have liked. The sauce was good, though.
