📖 Variations
Many BBQ chicken pizzas call for thinly sliced red onions. My family doesn’t care for them, but if yours does, add them into the chicken and BBQ sauce mixture for a little extra flavor.
You can use a store-bought BBQ sauce, or make your own. I try to have some of this Homemade Sweet & Spicy BBQ on hand. It really makes the pizzas so delicious!
