1

Preheat the oven and prepare the dough and toppings

Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°F. Let the covered pizza dough stand at room temperature for 20 minutes while the oven heats. Cut the fully cooked chicken into 1/2-inch pieces and thinly slice the green onions using clean utensils and a clean cutting board.

Use clean utensils and a clean cutting board for the fully cooked chicken, and wash hands and utensils before handling it.

2

Oil the baking sheet and stretch the dough

Coat the rimmed baking sheet with the canola oil. Place the dough in the center and gently press and stretch it into a 12-inch round, leaving a slightly thicker 1/2-inch border. If the dough springs back, let it rest for 5 minutes, then finish stretching it.

3

Toss the chicken with buffalo sauce

In the mixing bowl, toss the chicken with 1/4 cup of the buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated.

Sauce and top the dough

Spread the remaining 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce in a thin layer over the dough, leaving the raised border uncovered. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then distribute the buffalo-coated chicken over the cheese.

5

Bake until browned and verify the chicken temperature

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the crust is deeply golden, the underside is browned, and the cheese is melted, bubbling, and browned in spots. Check several chicken pieces with an instant-read thermometer; they must reach 165°F.

Use oven mitts when rotating or removing the baking sheet from the 500°F oven.

Check several chicken pieces and confirm they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Rest, finish, and slice the pizza
