Barbecue Chicken Pizza - Cuso Cuts

Pizza is one of the most adaptable meals in the world. You can make a culturally inspired one like Mexican pizza, a breakfast pizza with eggs and bacon, or even a steak pizza. Today I’m sharing one of my favorite game day recipes – the Barbecue Chicken Pizza.

Benefits of Pizza Oven

This recipe centers around a pizza oven (hey, they’re sexy). This type of oven reaches high temperatures, perfect for making a billowy pizza crust. Having said that, you can use it to make:

  • Bread
  • Corn on the cob
  • Fish
  • Grilled vegetables
  • Ribs
  • Roasts
  • Turkey

etc.

Plus, pizza ovens come in all price ranges (with as many bells and whistles as you’d like), so you’re likely to be able to find one that fits your budget. If not, check out PitMaster’s Memo below for oven cooking.

You’ll find that Pizza ovens save you time. Where your conventional oven may take up to 15 minutes to cook a pizza properly, here, you’ve only got to wait 2-3 minutes. Think of how much more time that gives you for entertaining. Having the right tools for a menu always makes for better eating. 


PitMaster Memo: Using an Oven

To make your pizza in the oven, you’ll need a sheet pan or a baking stone. Preheat the pan in a 475-500 degree oven. Meanwhile, assemble your pizza.

Carefully place the pizza on top of the preheated pan. Position the pan between 6” and 8” from the top of the oven to allow for heat circulation. If your oven is at 475F, the pizza takes between 10-15 minutes to cook. At 500Fit takes 8-12 minutes. You can put the broiler on for a few seconds at the end of the cooking time if you want the toppings crispier.
