Very good, but not enough spice for my family. We add extra spice (Penzy's Northwoods) to our own servings so we each get the spice level we like best. Chipolte or chili powder on the chicken, while cooking, also helps.

Add Penzy's Northwoods or Galeana Street seasoning to add an extra bit of heat. My husband and I use Galeana Street to season the chicken while cooking, and then add Northwoods to taste individually after dishing out.
