We had some leftover sauce from our BBQ pulled pork sandwiches so we decided to make a BBQ chicken pizza. The Fireside Blackjack BBQ Sauce – Hot! makes a flavorful pizza sauce with a zing but you can use your favorite BBQ sauce or combo of sauces to make it sweet and/or spicy. We cooked the chicken in the sauce to give it some extra flavor and then drizzled a little bit of sauce over the pizza crust. This time we used our Easy Pizza Crust but you can use the pizza crust of your choice. Depending on how heavily you load your pizza, there should be enough toppings for 2-3 pizzas.
