Buffalo Chicken Pizza Slab

This is where life gets a little more interesting, how to make a buffalo chicken recipe from scratch is actually super easy, spicy, and extra tasty!

Making a pizza into a baking sheet shape makes this chicken pizza recipe extremely easy.

There’s no time wasted guessing if you’ve made it the right size or how long to cook the pizza for because it’s all here for you.

Buffalo chicken is just a mixture of cooked shredded chicken and buffalo sauce plus some pantry extras to give it a flavor boost.

To get the shredded chicken you can either buy cooked chicken from your grocery store or make it by baking some chicken breast or boneless chicken thighs.

I would recommend cooking them covered so they retain their juices.

Tips for the best buffalo chicken pizza recipe:

• Make the pizza dough 30 minutes ahead of the time that you actually want to start cooking.

• The pizza dough will need to be stretched a lot with your fingers to fill the baking sheet, don’t worry if it doesn’t look enough. If you leave it to rise for another 15 minutes it will look more full.

• If you don’t have tomato paste just use a couple of spoon fulls of tinned pureed/chopped tomatoes.
