Steps:
- For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water in a bowl. Let stand for a few minutes.
- In a mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil and mix until combined. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture, add the pressed garlic and mix until just combined and the dough comes together in a sticky mass. Divide the dough into 2 balls and put each one in a separate ziptop bag. Set the dough aside for 1 to 2 hours, or store in the fridge until you need it.
- For the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sear it on both sides until the skin is golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the grease.
- Add the onions and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in the barbecue sauce and return the chicken to the pot. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the chicken is falling off the bone, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- When cool, use 2 forks to shred the meat from the bones, discarding the skin and bones. Skim off the excess fat from the top of the sauce and reserve.
- For the slaw: While the chicken is cooking, combine the shredded cabbage and sliced jalapeno in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, cayenne and salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate.
- For the pizza: When you are ready to make the pizza, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
- Grab one of the balls of pizza dough (the recipe makes 2 crusts, so you can refrigerate or freeze the other ball of dough for another recipe) and squeeze the dough toward the bottom to form a nice, tight, pulled ball. You can roll out the pizza with a rolling pin if you'd like, but sometimes it's just as easy to throw it around and pull and stretch until it feels right.
- When the crust is nice and thin, lay it on the oiled baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil on the dough and spread it with your fingers. Very lightly sprinkle some salt on top. Spread the reserved barbecue sauce and onion mixture over the crust, then cover with the mozzarella slices followed by the shredded chicken. Bake on the bottom rack until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Stir the cilantro into the slaw. Top the pizza with the slaw, cut into pieces and serve.
SPICY BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
Sadly, I cannot take credit for this pizza. It's from Sam the Cooking Guy. The spicy chili sauce really makes this pizza pop. You can omit the chili sauce if you don't care for spicy food, but I really suggest trying it. I also drizzled a little more plain bbq sauce to the pizza before topping with mozzarella to make it even more saucy. We made this last night and absolutely loved it.

SPICY CHICKEN PIZZA
Steps:
- Arrange the cubed chicken in a medium bowl and toss with 1/2 cup olive oil, lime juice, jalapeno and cilantro. Season lightly with salt. Let marinate for about 1 hour, refrigerated.
- In a skillet large enough to hold all of the chicken in 1 layer, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Saute the chicken just to brown on all sides.
- Preheat the oven to 525 degrees F. Brush the rolled out pizza dough lightly with oil and top the pizza dough with the mozzarella, fontina, plum tomatoes, eggplant, onion, chives, Parmesan, and chicken. Place on the pizza stone and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until done.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4-cup warm water.
- In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and mix on low speed until the dough comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and clusters around the dough hook, about 5 minutes. (The pizza dough can also be made in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse once or twice, add the remaining ingredients, and process until the dough begins to form a ball).
- Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
- Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 15 to 20 minutes. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- To prepare each pizza, dip the ball of dough into flour, shake off the excess flour, place the dough on a clean, lightly floured surface, and start to stretch the dough. Press down on the center, spreading the dough into an 8-inch circle, with the outer border a little thicker than the inner circle. If you find this difficult to do, use a small rolling pin to roll out the dough.

SPICY CHICKEN PIZZA
People either seem to love or hate this recipe. I, personally, love it!! I also think it would make a nice baked chicken ... though, I haven't tried that yet. Using low-sodium soy sauce has been asked of me ... it can be salty.

SPICY BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
BEWARE: The hot sauce makes this recipe VERY spicy - Please use oil if you are unable to tolerate spicy foods. Don't hate me because I like super duper easy recipes. This one uses a prepared crust, but it is delicious!

Steps:
- 1. Dice chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. In medium skillet, warm the hot sauce (or oil) over medium heat. Add chicken, stirring frequently.
- 2. While chicken is cooking, place Boboli crust on pizza pan and top with barbeque sauce.
- 3. Once chicken is thoroughly cooked, drain excess sauce (or oil) from the chicken and put it on top of the barbeque sauce. Top with cheese. Cook at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- 4. FOR A LESS SPICY RECIPE, use oil instead of hot sauce to cook the chicken. The hot sauce definitely adds a significant amount of heat to the pizza.
Tips:
- Use a pre-made pizza crust to save time. Alternatively, you can make your own dough using the recipe included in the article.
- To make the spicy chicken, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate it in the spices and yogurt for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- You can use any type of cheese you like for the pizza. Mozzarella is a classic choice, but you could also try cheddar, Parmesan, or a blend of cheeses.
- If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chili flakes from the recipe. You can also use a milder chili powder, such as ancho chili powder.
- Serve the pizza immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or marinara sauce.
Conclusion:
Spicy chicken pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. With its crispy crust, flavorful chicken, and spicy sauce, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe, give this one a try.
