BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA
Makes one 12-inch pizza
Confused? Don’t be. This is all the great taste of those spicy little chicken wings, except in a pizza — and no bones to deal with.
INGREDIENTS
• 4 tablespoons (1⁄2 stick) butter
• 4 tablespoons hot sauce (not like Tabasco but more a Louisiana-style “Frank’s” is good)
• 21⁄2 cups shredded cooked chicken (from a precooked deli chicken)
• 1⁄2 cup blue cheese salad dressing any kind, but the chunkier, the better
• One 12-inch ready-made pizza crust, like Boboli
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- In a small pot, melt the butter with the hot sauce, stir well, and remove from the heat.
- Add the chicken and mix well.
- Spread the blue cheese dressing on the pizza crust, then top with the chicken mixture. (Don’t worry if it’s messy, because it will be).
- Top with the mozzarella.
- Bake until bubbly, brown, and awesome looking, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the cilantro, cut into wedges, and serve.
