Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Remove your pizza dough from the fridge and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it proof for 3-4 hours at room temperature, or until it feels warm to the touch.
  2. While the dough is proofing, preheat your oven to a scorching 500-550°F. If you have a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven to heat for at least 1 hour.
  3. In a skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast strips and sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Coat evenly with half of your buffalo sauce.
  4. On a floured surface, gently stretch and shape your dough into a round 12-inch crust.
  5. Carefully transfer your shaped dough onto a floured pizza peel. Spread buffalo sauce evenly, then add the sautéed chicken, fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced red onion, and jalapenos.
  6. Slide your assembled pizza onto the preheated stone or steel inside the oven. Bake for 5-6 minutes until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted.
  7. Once done baking, let it cool for a couple of minutes. Drizzle honey over the top, slice into portions, and serve hot.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Don't skip broiling for an extra crust char.
