McSaddle's Buffalo Chicken Bleu Cheese Pizza

A Confluence Of The Beloved
McSaddle's Buffalo Chicken Bleu Cheese Pizza

I'm a sucker for good buffalo wings with bleu cheese; it's one of my weaknesses. There is something about the heat you get from a good wing-sauce with the rich savory creaminess you get with Bleu Cheese that makes all my toes curl with delight. These are flavors that have earned their way off the Bar Menu, and into my heart.

No, I don't think I'm over-selling it. Fuck you.

What You'll Need

• Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wing Sauce
• Chicken Breast Tenders, sliced thin
• Red Onion
• Red Bell Pepper
• Green Bell Pepper
• Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (1 cup)
• Smoked Gouda cheese (1/2 Cup)
• Gooey Bleu Cheese Chunks (1/3 Cup)

The Sauce:

1.) On the stovetop mix 1 1/2 cups of Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wing Sauce with 1/3 a cup of flower and 1 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream (half & half or whole milk could work). Whisk while in the pan with the stove on high until all the ingredients blend. Put on low heat

The Chicken

2.) Make a batter out of flower, sea salt, ground pepper, and parsley, cream and one egg. Remember to mix your dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.

3.) Put thawed chicken through a bath of whipped egg and cream and then coat in the dry ingredients. Put each piece in a hot pan with oil.

4.) Once the chicken is cooked all the way through add it to your pan of Buffalo Sauce and stir regularly.

The Crust

5.) Make this how you want, I often use a pre-made crust from Pillsbury. You might consider putting oil on your pan and pre-baking the crust, especially if you have an electric oven.

The Toppings

6.) You should strain your pot of sauce over the crust so you don't dump out your chicken. As with all the toppings it should be heavier on the outside than in the middle.

The base cheese is Monterey Jack. I would feel free to use a whole cup or more. This should go on first.

Add your chicken generously throughout the pizza and put on top of it the thin slices of Gouda.

Finely chop all the vegetables. The smaller and more thin you cut them, the more they will cook, and I'll tell you when you get those red onions to caramelize and you get the red peppers to sweeten you will thank me.

Wherever you don't have a slice of chicken, lay down a chunk of Bleu Cheese.
