Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 425°F.

Form pizza crust on pizza pan or cookie sheet. Top with duck or plum sauce - spread it around like you would pizza sauce. Sprinkle the pizza with some crushed red pepper flakes then top with cheese and peppers. Bake until golden and bubbly, 15-17 minutes.

Pre-heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Slice chicken into very small pieces. Combine vegetable oil, soy sauce and peanut butter with hot sauce and grill seasoning. Use the microwave to loosen up peanut butter if it is too cold to blend into sauce, 10 seconds ought to do it. Add chicken and and entire sauce mixture. Cook on medium heat until sauce has condensed and chicken it cooked

While chicken cooks, mix honey and vinegar and add the cucumber. Turn to coat evenly.
