This dish was a total disaster. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm allergic to tequila, so I substituted vodka instead. The dish still turned out great!

This recipe was way too complicated and time-consuming. I ended up just ordering takeout instead.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

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

I'm not usually a fan of tequila, but this dish changed my mind. The tequila flavor was subtle, but it really added a nice depth of flavor to the chicken. I'll be making this again for sure.
