- Buffalo sauce is too hot, what to do?
- Mix in some melted butter, it dampens the heat.
- I don't like blue cheese.
- Skip it, and drizzle with sour cream or ranch dressing when serving for contrast.
NY Style Buffalo Chicken Pizza
The cult of Buffalo chicken wings adapted to pizza. The contrast of spicy, vinegary-buttery sauce and cooling blue cheese (or ranch dressing) makes it addictive. This pizza isn't about subtlety, but intense, in-your-face flavors.

Instructions
1
✓
Cube chicken, fry in pan with little oil until opaque.
Tip: Just par-cook so it's not raw, but doesn't dry out.
2
✓
Toss chicken in half the Buffalo sauce.
Tip: Meat absorbs spicy flavor.
3
✓
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Tip: Standard pizza temp.
4
✓
Brush dough with remaining sauce (or thin layer olive oil if you don't want it too hot).
Tip: If brushed with sauce, it will be more intense.
5
✓
Sprinkle mozzarella, then chicken, thinly sliced onion and crumbled blue cheese.
Tip: Blue cheese melts into salty 'pockets' while baking.
6
✓
Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is golden brown.
Tip: Edges brown nicely.
7
✓
When serving sprinkle with thinly sliced celery (classic side) or parsley.
