Recipe #35 Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Buffalo Chicken Pizza

I originally found this pizza recipe on Pinterest and it is from Southern Living.  I then went on a search for Buffalo chicken wing sauce and found this recipe from About.com American Food.  The 8 tablespoons of butter was a little much for me; I also used Tapatio hot sauce and added more.  For the pizza, I used Boboli thin crust.  The pizza recipe called for deli roasted chicken, but I used leftover crockpot chicken (see an earlier recipe of mine).  Besides coating the crust with the sauce, I also coated the chicken in the sauce.  It's the first time that I grilled a pizza and the Boboli crust was perfect for grilling.  A very yummy recipe.  Happy Cooking!

This is the classic Buffalo chicken wing sauce recipe. The Buffalo chicken wing was invented at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York.
