New York Buffalo chicken pizza

The cult of Buffalo chicken wings adapted to pizza. The contrast between the spicy, vinegary-buttery sauce and the cooling blue cheese (or ranch dressing) makes it addictive. This pizza is not about subtlety, but intense, in-your-face flavours.

Instructions

1

Dice the chicken and fry in a little oil in a pan until it turns white.

Tip: We only precook it so it's not raw, but don't dry it out.
2

Toss the chicken in half of the Buffalo sauce.

Tip: The meat absorbs the spicy flavour.
3

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Tip: Standard pizza temperature.
4

Spread the remaining sauce on the dough (or a thin layer of olive oil if you don't want it too spicy).

Tip: If you spread with sauce, it will be more intense.
5

Sprinkle with mozzarella, then chicken, thinly sliced onion and crumbled blue cheese.

Tip: Blue cheese forms salty 'pockets' as it melts during baking.
6

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.

Tip: The edges brown beautifully.
7

Sprinkle with thinly sliced celery (the classic accompaniment) or parsley when serving.

Tip: The crunch and freshness of celery counterbalance the spicy richness.
