Grilled BBQ Chicken Pizza

The beauty of this recipe is in its simplicity, so use the best ingredients you can to really let the flavors shine through. This pizza dough has a really delicious and complex flavor, but it needs to rest for one hour and chill for at least two. If you don’t have time for that, use the best refrigerated dough your grocery store has. Same with the sauce. I like the zip from a sweet and spicy sauce, but use whatever you like best. I used chicken legs because I had them already; thighs will work just as well. Chicken breast is ok, but won’t be as juicy or flavorful.
