This called for way too much seasoning, the chicken was dry and grainy from all the powder. It didn’t have a good enough flavor profile to dilute it. We ended up throwing it out.
Everyone has a different taste palate. I loved how it came out and the pictures show my results. I am sorry you did not enjoy the recipe. I hope some of my other ones are more palatable for you. Thank you for your feedback and support of our site.
