How to Make Buffalo Chicken Pizza

For the Buffalo chicken pizza dough, I like my favorite quick and dirty homemade Whole Wheat Pizza Dough, though if you prefer to swap in store-bought dough, your secret is safe with me. From there, we slather on shredded chicken that’s been bathed in Buffalo sauce and top the whole shebang with red onions and gooey cheese. Pop it into the oven and 15 minutes later, BAM! Buffalo bliss on a baking sheet.

I have instructions for Instant Pot Chicken, Crock Pot Shredded Chicken, Baked Chicken Breast, and How to Cook Shredded Chicken (stovetop method). Spices.
