Easy recipe for making homemade buffalo chicken pizza. Everything is better on a pizza and buffalo chicken is no exception.
Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe
I love hot wings. Love them. I don’t know how many anniversaries, special occasions, and random nights out have spent eating wings.
As is the case with a lot of my recipes, they’re born out of an accident. I get a craving and come up with a new way to present it.
Last week I somehow got it into my head I wanted pasta. I knew there was a batch of sauce in the freezer but when I checked the pantry we didn’t have pasta. So, I scrapped that idea.
I finally came up with a recipe when I started working backward from the protein and cheese I did have. From there, the ideas started flowing.
I could do some sort of club type pizza with turkey bacon but that didn’t sound very appetizing either. But I finally settled on making Buffalo Chicken Pizza.
While I had never personally attempted it, my husband had with moderate success so I was feeling I might be able to pull this off. I did a variation of my Buffalo Chicken Bites recipe and threw it on a pizza.
And you know what?! My spur of the moment idea ended up being a success!

You are so creative! I love the idea of flavoring the crust with ranch dressing. The awesome thing about making pizza at home is that you can do whatever you want with it. :)
