Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. If you’re making homemade pizza dough, follow your favorite recipe to create a delicious base. Roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle and place it on a greased pizza pan. Allow the dough to rise for about 10 minutes while you preheat the oven.
  2. Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a perfectly baked Buffalo Chicken Pizza.
  3. Once the dough has risen, brush a light layer of olive oil over the surface. Sprinkle about ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.
  4. In a bowl, toss the cooked chopped chicken with the remaining hot sauce to fully coat it. Distribute this spicy chicken mixture evenly across the cheese layer, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top.
  5. Carefully place the assembled Buffalo Chicken Pizza into the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, rotating it halfway through.
  6. After baking, let the pizza cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with ranch dressing if desired and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
