BBQ Chicken Pizza

[heart_this] · Jun 30, 2010 · 26 Comments

BBQ Chicken Pizza

When I am meal planning, I often like to make things that are similar right next to each other to ensure that I use all of the ingredients and that there are no leftover components sitting in the fridge forever. While I was thinking about the buffalo wing dip , it reminded me something else that I have been wanting to try making for a while, a bbq chicken pizza. A bbq chicken pizza is basically a pizza with barbecue sauce instead of a tomato sauce that is topped with grilled chicken, onions and cheese. I have experimented with replacing the tomato sauce on pizzas before and I have alway been happy with the results so I was looking forward to trying a bbq sauce based pizza. At one point, I was thinking about just using hot sauce but I figured that a homemade bbq sauce would be even better and I had just picked up some liquid smoke that I wanted to try adding to give it a hickory smoke aroma.
The bbq chicken pizza turned out really well! The sweet and spicy hot bbq sauce was simply amazing as a pizza sauce all covered in melted cheese and the smoky aroma took it over the edge. Barbecue chicken is always good and the combination was definitely a winner on this pizza. Now I am looking forward to having the leftovers for breakfast.

    Dude your blog is great 🙂 It's exactly what I was looking for since I want to start learning how to cook. Unfortunately I have no idea how to grill or saute. =/ Hopefully one day I will be able to make all the recipes you post here 🙂

    I've been thinking of trying a BBQ chicken pizza! I like your combination of cheeses! We have a local BBQ joint that smokes chickens. I think I'll buy a smoked chicken from there to use for such a pizza 🙂

    This is on my menu for this week, do you think I could use the thin pizza crust for it? Or should I stick with the basic one.

    Carmelizing the onions and cooking the chicken in BBQ sauce takes this to the next level!
