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.

Tip: Celery crunch and freshness counterbalance spicy richness.
