Description
Skip the delivery fee! This homemade buffalo chicken pizza features a crispy crust, spicy buffalo sauce base, tender chicken, and melty mozzarella. Ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
1 lb fresh pizza dough (room temperature)
1.5 cups cooked chicken, cubed or shredded
1/2 cup buffalo sauce (divided)
1 tbsp melted butter
2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp ranch or blue cheese dressing (for drizzling)
1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a baking sheet, lightly grease it or line with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and 1/4 cup of the buffalo sauce. Toss the chicken in this mixture.
3. Stretch the pizza dough onto your pan. Poke a few holes with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Par-bake the dough for 4-5 minutes. This ensures a crispy crust.
5. Remove from oven. Brush the remaining 1/4 cup buffalo sauce lightly over the crust.
6. Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
7. Distribute the buffalo chicken and red onions evenly on top.
8. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
10. Remove from oven. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing and garnish with cilantro. Slice and serve hot.
Notes
**Spicy Tip:** If you love heat, drizzle extra buffalo sauce on top right after baking.
**Crust Tip:** Letting the dough come to room temperature for 30 minutes makes it much easier to stretch without snapping back.
