  • 375 grams cooked chicken (3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken. I've also used leftover turkey)
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (red hot sauce, preferably Frank's Hot Sauce)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (mixture of mozzarella, cheddar, sometimes adding Munster)
  • 2/3 cups crumbled blue cheese (optional - I normally don't use because my family doesn't care for blue
  • 4 ounces red onion (1/2 onion, thinly sliced, optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Step 2: Place pizza shells on pizza baking pans.

  • Step 3: If using fresh pizza dough, flour a counter surface and working with one piece of dough at a time, form each into a disk with your hands laying it over the floured counter. Use your hands and a rolling pin to flatten the dough until it is 1/4-inch thick or less. If the dough starts to shrink back, let it rest for 5 minutes and then continue rolling until you've reached the desired size and shape. Brush a thin film of olive oil on 2 baking sheets (or stones) and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Add each formed pizza dough onto baking sheets.

  • Step 4: In a bowl, combine pizza sauce and barbecue sauce. Set aside.

  • Step 5: In a large bowl, toss chicken with hot sauce. Set aside

  • Step 6: Spread pizza/barbecue sauce with the back of a spoon evenly over pizza

  • Step 7: Arrange chicken/hot sauce mixture over top of pizzas.

  • Step 8: Sprinkle cheeses evenly on top of each pizza shells or fresh dough.

  • Step 9: If using, evenly distribute red onion slices over all.

  • Step 10: Bake shells for 15 minutes until crust is crispy and cheese melts.

  • Step 11: If using fresh pizza dough, bake for approximately the same amount of time (maybe a bit over) watching for doneness until edges are crisp and the cheese begins to blister and turn golden brown. Test by gently lifting edge of pizza with a spatula to make sure that the bottom of the dough is cooked through (that it doesn't look to soft and droopy which is an indication that it is not cooked through).

  • Step 12: Remove from oven and cut into slices. Serve hot. Reheats pretty well too.
