Sentence 3: "After trying the new recipe, chicken pizza tasted delicious."

Why: The introductory phrase "After trying the new recipe" has no logical subject in the main clause, so it wrongly modifies "chicken pizza" (which can't try a recipe).

Fixes (examples):
- "After trying the new recipe, I found the chicken pizza tasted delicious."
- "After she tried the new recipe, the chicken pizza tasted delicious."
