Notes:

2003
The sauce for this was way too intense. Next time try substituting water for some of the soy and rice vinegar. Also, we used a full size pizza crust and doubled the topping ingredients. You might also want to try the bigger crust with a single batch of sauce and increase the chicken by half. The was really, really good, just too much flavor.
