I’m a big fan of Buffalo chicken wings. The heat and the sourness from the hot sauce, contrasted with the cool, creamy, slightly funky blue cheese dressing, takes chicken to a new level. I love everything about them — except the wings.
Eating chicken wings is messy business; I end up with Buffalo sauce up to my elbows. So if I can capture the same elements that make Buffalo chicken wings so good, and use them to top another beloved dish, pizza, that’s a win-win.
Welcome to this week’s recipe, Buffalo Chicken Pizza.
OK, I know many of you are thinking “if my pizza isn’t topped with red sauce, mozz and pepperoni, it isn’t pizza.” For those of you who feel strongly about what is and isn’t pizza, you can quietly call this delightful version flatbread.
But no matter what you call it, the flavor combination works well on top of a crisp pizza crust.
