I made the recipe for me and my son as we are truly fans of all sorts of chicken dishes. This one however, was a bit disappointing. It was extremely tangy and neither of us cared for the flavor. This is one we won't be repeating. - 9/9/09

I love this dish - enough kick in the flavor to make it yummy and not dull. It's definitely not just another chicken dish :) - 8/27/09
