How to Make Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Step One

Prep the oven: Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F). Place a pizza stone or baking tray in the oven to heat it up; this will help make the crust crispier.

Step Two

Now, let’s prepare the chicken: Mix the shredded cooked chicken with the buffalo sauce in a bowl until all the pieces are evenly coated. Then, prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until you reach the desired shape and thickness. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling later.

Step Three

Then, add the toppings: Lightly brush the dough with olive oil, then spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses generously over the top.

Step Four

Now, it’s time to bake the pizza: Carefully place the pizza (with the parchment paper) on the hot stone or baking tray. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step Five

Prepare: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top, if desired, then garnish with fresh parsley or green onions. Slice and enjoy!
