Thai Barbeque Chicken Pizza

Most of the recipes I've made for Luci's Morsels were recreations of dishes I'd had once becoming a blogger, but this recipe was inspired by a pizza place in Davis, CA when I lived there for grad school. A tasty pizza place opened up and they offered a Thai chicken pizza that was too good to be true. A few years later, once I'd started blogging, I thought of the flavor combination and figured out an easy way to make it at home!

THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 1 recipe pizza dough homemade or store bought
• 3/4 Cup BBQ sauce divided
• 1 teaspoon sriracha more for those who like it extra spicy
• 3 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 cup shredded chicken
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 cup shredded cheese monterey jack and mozzarella are good
• 1/2 onion thinly sliced
• olive oil
• cilantro for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place pizza stone or large sheet pan in cold oven. THEN heat oven to 500 degrees. If using homemade pizza dough. Make dough and let rise while oven warms.
2. Combine 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, sriracha, and hoisin.
3. In a separate bowl, combine shredded chicken, 1/4 Cup BBQ sauce, and granulated garlic.
4. Shred cheese, slice onions, and roughly chop cilantro while dough rises.
5. Roll out pizza dough. Remove very hot stone from oven. Carefully lay dough on stone. It will begin to crisp and bubble. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons olive oil on dough. Spread remaining sriracha mixture on dough. Pile on cheese, onion, and chicken.
6. Bake 8-10 minutes until crust is crispy and cheese is bubbly.
7. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with remaining sriracha sauce.
