Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 ounces chicken nuggets (or popcorn chicken)
- 2 tbsp oil for frying
- 1 store bought 12” round unbaked pizza dough
- 1 ½ cups of your favorite BBQ sauce (Honey BBQ works great)
- 4 ounces shredded mild cheddar cheese
- ½ of a small red onion
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- On a cutting board, slice the red onion very thin and about 1 - 2 inches long.
- Heat the oil in a skillet on medium high heat, then fry the chicken nuggets for 2 - 4 minutes turning over halfway.
- Cut the chicken nuggets into bite-sized pieces, then toss in a bowl with half of the BBQ sauce, coating well.
- Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and place into a pizza pan sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Spread the remaining BBQ sauce on it to about 1/2 inch from the edge.
- Sprinkle on the cheddar cheese and add slices of red onion.
- Spread the chicken nugget pieces evenly over the pizza.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
- Sprinkle the pizza with cilantro, use a pizza cutter to cut into slices and serve.
