Buffalo Chicken Pizza

April 26, 2018

This Buffalo Chicken Pizza has a Frank’s hot sauce bechamel and is topped with mozzarella, chicken, tomatoes and scallions. It’s a fun recipe for game night.

If you’re a fan of all things Buffalo when it comes to food, you’ve got to try this pizza!

This Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe is just as easy to make as a regular pizza, but instead of tomato sauce, we’ll be making a Frank’s bechamel.

Bechamel sauce is what they typically use for white pizza, so it has that wonderfully creamy base, but with that spicy flavor that’s classic in Buffalo Sauce.

Even though I have a Buffalo Wing Sauce that I absolutely love for Chicken Wings, I think it’s important that pizza sauce has more creaminess to it, so the two balance each other out for the perfect base.

You could simply do the buffalo sauce with cheese on top and call it a day, but I like to add more toppings.

I add this simple Crockpot Chicken Breast on top, with tomatoes, scallions or red onion, and maybe some parsley if I feel like it. But those are all optional.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Pizza:

It’s exactly like assembling any other pizza.

You take a pizza crust and top it with the Frank’s bechamel sauce, then cheese and any other toppings, like chicken, thick sliced tomatoes, and onion if you wish.
