BBQ Chicken Pizza

Traci and I made a bbq chicken pizza on Saturday night. Added some diced bacon and cilantro. Should have used a little more BBQ sauce and fresher cilantro otherwise very tasty

Gorgeous! But I'm a novice here, for years have heard the name "BBQ Chicken Pizza" but never had one. Never occurred ot me until reading your note that for this pizza BBQ sauce actually replaces the red sauce, is that right?

BBQ sauce does replace traditional red pizza sauce. Obviously not an original idea since Wolfgang or whomever pioneered this years ago. We just had some extra dough that Traci made in the refrigerator and I thought it would be fun to make our own. Basically, baked boneless/skinless chicken breast tenders slathered in bbq sauce in the oven for 20 minutes, cranked up the heat to 500, then rolled out the dough, hit it with bbq sauce, topped with chicken, then a mixture of monterey jack and parmesan-reggiano, then bacon and into the oven for about 16 minutes. topped with cilantro, cut and served. A 2006 Syrah that I made from a Dry Creek Vineyard went well with the pizza

Nah, Memphis pioneered this years ago. And it was awful there, too.

All over the South, I believe, not just Melvis. I even saw it in West Virginia back in the early '70s.

It can be okay, but it is to pizza as Cincinnati chili is to chili.

But why be a purist? If it's good, it's GOOD!

Robin, you can do a lot of future target shooting at the rest of Kentucky before you use up that credit above. I like that line!

Looks great Tony...it's inspired me to make a BBQ Turkey pizza for lunch today using some leftover Thanksgiving turkey!

I made the mistake of eating here - once.

Maria - thanks. The other posts aside, it was very tasty. I actually considered using some left over turkey as well, but we decided to have a little more "thanksgiving" on Sunday night. Turkey, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes and cornbread stuffing. It was wonderful
