We enjoyed this. I used breaded chicken strips. I cooked them them, chopped them in smaller pieces, and tossed in some of the wing sauce. I still used the recommended amount of wing sauce for spreading on the crust but thought it could use a bit more.
I cooked raw chicken instead. Just fried & frozen nuggets, yuck. Than mixed the cooked chicken in hot sauce, covering the crust with the ranch dressing. I used yellow onion instead because I like the taste, but have made it with red onions.
Also, mix the ingredients together with the cheese before putting on the pie. It has a much better taste.

I tried this idea after I saw the episode. It was smart and delicious. I used a wolfgang puck pizza crust receipe. The only thing I had to adjust was adding the salad dressing. Beware, if you put the salad dressing on before you bake the pizza, the dressing curdles. I suggest adding it to the finish product as a garnish.
I love Guy, he is my favorite host on the network. But come on Frozen boxed chicken. Even in a competition he can do better than this crap
This pizza is awesome. I was a little nervous about using boxed chicken nuggets.. but it worked great. I used packaged pizza dough I found in the grocery store, so I had to turn up the temp. a little and add about 4 more minutes to the cooking time. I also used Red Hot hot sauce.. which was perfect. What a great change to pizza!!
My daughter and I made this pizza together. It was very simple to make, and even more delicious to eat. My daughter requested this pizza for a sleep over she’ll be having with her friends. It is a quick and easy meal for last minute get togethers. We’ll be making this one again!
I used Giada’s Roman Pizza dough recipe for the crust. My husband loves buffalo chicken and he really enjoyed it. I liked that it was so quick. Great for those days where I don’t feel like laboring over dinner!
