I’ve got pizza on my mind lately (and always and forever). Oh wait, there is basically never a time when pizza is not on my mind. It’s been one of my favorite foods for as long as I can remember, and I have the feeling that is never going to change. Everyone seems to love my Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza. Pizza is just comfort food at it’s best, and when done right, it’s the best thing ever. I love how creative and crazy you can be with homemade pizza! The sky is the limit.
The crust on this Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken Pizza comes out so perfectly when cooked in the sheet pan. This crust really crisps up nicely but stays nice and soft when baked in the oven. The most important thing to note here is to use your absolute favorite BBQ sauce for the best results possible. You’ll want it to be just right – perfectly tangy and sweet in every single cheesy bite. You can use homemade or store-bought BBQ sauce for this recipe – whatever you choose.
I definitely had to add bacon to this pizza to make it taste even greater. Can you ever really can you go wrong with bacon? Plus, I thought this BBQ chicken pizza needed that saltiness to balance out the sweetness from the BBQ sauce. It really gives it that good depth of flavor.
Get ready to be amazed by how easy and delicious it is to make this homemade pizza right in your kitchen. This season, I’m all about barbecue chicken with spring right around the corner. I created a recipe inspired by the flavors you may have in a BBQ feast, so this would be perfect for spring and summer. Ready to give this sheet pan pizza technique a try?
