A little recipe I picked up from my favorite sergeant in the corps. His recipe calls for papaya, but he told me it's optional. I hope you like. Serve over rice.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I would probably look for a simpler recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out dry and tough. The sauce was also a bit too sweet for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably cut back on the sugar next time.
