I always pin a ton of recipes, and wonder..are they really as good as they sound? Obviously opinions differ, but in my "oPINion" posts, I'm going to take pins from pinterest and review them, and you can decide for yourself, or feel free to comment with your opinions! I'd love to hear them!
So, the brown sugar/garlic chicken...in my head this sounded so good. I had pinned an easy recipe (see it, here) and was looking forward to trying it. I followed the instructions and got it in the oven and it smelled sooo good! I couldn't wait to try it...sadly, when I did try it, it didn't taste anything like it smelled. It was very bland, and the bites that did have flavor were just...odd. I was really let down because it honestly smelled SO good, almost like Chinese food. It wasn't bad tasting, it was okay, just really a let down compared to the smell. Even Pants said it was "different" and he will eat almost anything! We all ate it, but I probably wouldn't ever make it again. I did see a different slow cooker version of the recipe (check it out here) with more ingredients that sounds like it would have a lot more flavor, and taste more like it smelled, and I am considering giving it a shot. I will update this post when I try it.
Have you tried a version of this recipe? What were your thoughts?
