Easy Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Have leftover chicken? Use it to make this easy Buffalo Chicken Pizza recipe? Spicy buffalo sauce, chicken, gooey cheese and dressing make Friday night pizza super fun!
Looking for a fun recipe for busy nights? Or for your next pizza night? This is it! We love to bake pizzas on Friday night.
I am a HUGE fan of having pre-made pizza crust or flatbreads on hand to use for easy pizzas or flatbread appetizers! Great pizza does not have to have homemade crust. This pizza tastes like buffalo wings without all of the sticky mess.
We use a ready-made crust so you can get this delicious homemade Buffalo Chicken Pizza recipe in the oven in less than 5 minutes!
You can make this recipe keto friendly by swapping out a keto flatbread! If you want to try making your own crust, try this easy Fathead dough recipe.
Of course, you can use your own pizza dough if you like to make it! The best pizza is the one that YOU love! When I use my own dough, I need just shy of one pound of pizza dough to make a pizza that’s around 12 inches round.
I used prepared buffalo sauce for this recipe, but you can make your own as well! Just combine:
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (I like Frank’s Red Hot sauce),
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
This recipe is awesome served with Keto Pigs in a Blanket, Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings with Homemade Buffalo Sauce or The BEST Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip!
This recipe is an excellent opportunity to use leftover shredded rotisserie chicken. Shredded chicken is my favorite, but you can also dice it!
I like to top this Buffalo Chicken Pizza with chopped green onions, and a hearty drizzle of creamy ranch dressing or tangy blue cheese dressing and a few splashes of my favorite hot sauce.
