Equipment

  • Baking Steel
  • Pizza Stone
  • Pizza Peel
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup Texas Pete hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 tbsp blue cheese dressing
  • 3 tbsp pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 ball pizza dough

Instructions
 

  • First things first, preheat your oven before you start prepping the ingredients. You need to pre-heat your baking steel or pizza stone in the oven at 550F for an hour.
  • While your oven is pre-heating, divide your dough into 1/2 ball portions if needed, then set the dough on a floured surface and cover it with a towel to let it rise.
  • Shred your rotisserie chicken (other cooked chicken is also fine) so that you have 1 cup of shredded chicken for each pizza you plan to make.
  • Toss the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup Texas Pete hot sauce for every 1 cup of chicken.
  • After your oven has pre-heated for an hour (try to be patient!) your dough should have risen enough that you can stretch it and assemble the pizza.
  • Stretch the dough out on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, on top of a peel. Make sure you put flour on your hands before stretching the dough. Don't stress if the shape isn't perfect!
  • Add 3 tbsp pizza sauce to the top of the crust and spread it around on the pizza evenly.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza.
  • Also top the pizza with the shredded Texas Pete buffalo chicken and blue cheese crumbles, and drizzle with blue cheese dressing or ranch. Tip: Try not to overload the crust.
  • Launch your pizza into the oven onto your pre-heated baking steel or pizza stone for 5-7 minutes. Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your pizza while it bakes! At the 3 minute mark, remove the parchment paper from the oven and rotate the pizza.
  • Let your Texas Pete buffalo chicken pizza cool on a wire rack for a few minutes, then enjoy!
