What’s in this BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe?
Calling all barbecue lovers – this chicken pizza is for you! Simple ingredients bake to perfection atop a pizza crust to deliver the best BBQ flavor.
Pizza Crust: Start with any crust or dough you like. A pre-made, refrigerated crust works, or try making homemade pizza dough! Chicken: Use chicken that has been fully cooked. Grab a rotisserie chicken from the store, or make Instant Pot shredded chicken for a quick and easy option. Barbecue Sauce: Use your favorite store-bought brand. I like a sauce that’s a little bit sweet for this BBQ chicken pizza. Red Onion: Red onion has a bite that pairs well with the other flavors. Smoked Gouda Cheese: I love the way the subtle smoked flavor of this cheese pairs with the barbecue sauce. Cilantro: This is an optional (but highly recommended) garnish!
Pro Tip: I recommend using a BBQ sauce that you already know you like. That way, you’ll love the flavor that’s all over the pizza.
What other toppings can I add to barbecue pizza?
This BBQ chicken pizza recipe is pretty simple, with just BBQ shredded chicken, barbecue sauce, onion, and cheese on top. But feel free to add more ingredients if you like. Sweet corn, blue cheese crumbles, caramelized onion, and bell peppers would all taste delicious! If you’re a fan of ranch, serve some on the side or drizzle it on top.
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
Let BBQ chicken pizza cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also wrap slices in aluminum foil. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer until warmed through.
How to Freeze
Let the pizza fully cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve, pop it into the oven and bake until warm.
What to Serve with Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza
BBQ chicken pizza pairs well with a crispy chicken salad or this oriental chicken salad. Or pair it with wings–it tastes delicious with baked Korean wings or boneless buffalo wings.
