- Buffalo sauce is too spicy, what do I do?
- Mix in some melted butter, that softens the heat.
- I don't like blue cheese.
- Leave it out, and drizzle with soured cream or ranch dressing when serving for contrast.
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.
