I made this pizza few months ago and my husband is still talking about it. We used a pre-baked crust, but otherwise followed the recipe. The sauce took a little longer to thicken than expected, but worth the wait! The green onions are a must as they lend a crisp green flavor that balances out the sweet, potent sauce. A keeper!
Malaysian Chicken Pizza
Randy Mayor; Jan Gautro
Malaysian chicken pizza is a pie with a spicy, sweet, peanut butter and soy sauce-based sauce that seemed ahead of its time in 1991 when it first ran. Twenty years later and it’s still a new adventurous pizza for most people. If you like barbecue chicken pizza, you’ll love this.
