Ingredients

This pizza recipe is pretty simple and straightforward. Here’s the list of ingredients needed to make this dish:

• Pizza dough of your choice or store-bought pizza crust

Instructions

1. To begin, marinate the chicken in half of the barbecue sauce. It just takes approximately 2 hours to marinate, but you can absolutely leave it longer if you want to.
2. Then, preheat your oven to 350°C when you’re ready to cook the pizza.

4. Stretch the dough out onto a pizza pan once it has been prepared and proofed. You can follow our guide on how to stretch the dough by hand if you’re confused about how to proceed with this step.
5. Brush the formed dough lightly with olive oil to prevent the pizza toppings from making the crust soggy.

7. Bake it for 15-17 minutes at 475°F. 
8. Make sure the rack is in the lowest third of the oven to get a crisp crust. To ensure uniform cooking, rotate the pizza halfway through.
