Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Pizza Sticks

- Sponsored Post -

We’re buffalo chicken fanatics. This could be the reason why we feel piling lots of shredded chicken tossed in a spicy buffalo wing sauce and cheese onto pizza is perfectly normal. It is, right?

Making Crazy Good Buffalo Chicken Pizza Sticks

This one is so incredibly easy to make. Shredded cooked chicken is tossed in a whole cup of store-bought buffalo wing sauce. Buffalo wing sauce is sold next to the hot sauces and are a little creamier than regular hot sauce. You could make your own, too. Just follow our sauce recipe, which we toss chicken in for our Easy Baked Chicken Hot Wings Recipe.

Then, we throw it all on top of partially cooked pizza dough and top with cheese.

Bake until bubbly and you’re done and ready to serve.

The pizza dough we used is actually from Pillsbury. We’re sure you’ve noticed their products in your grocery store – we used their Classic Pizza Crust for this. Pillsbury did pay us to develop this recipe using their pizza crust.

If you can’t find Pillsbury’s pizza crust, feel free to use any dough, store-bought pizza or homemade.

Pizza + Chicken + Buffalo Wing Sauce + Cheese = Perfect Party Appetizer

We love cutting the pizza into sticks. This way, eating is way more fun. Wouldn’t this make a perfect appetizer for parties, maybe even a football party?

I wish I would have seen the comments before I made this (it’s in the oven now :) ) BBQ sauce sounds amazing, can’t wait to dig in!!

The 1 cup of sauce in this recipe is waaaaaaayyyy too much! I made it for the first time and it was a saucy disaster, and the cheese wouldn’t even stay on. I think if you cut it down to 1/2 of sauce it would give flavor and the right amount of sauciness…but overall this is a nummy recipe!

I made this for the Super Bowl the other day and it was a hit! There was none left. I was a little bummed that it went so fast that I made another one the next day! The second time I made it I only had about 2/3 a cup left of buffalo sauce and my husband said it wasn’t as spicy. Which means that he liked it better because it was more gentle on his tummy.
I would love to give this a whirl with BBQ sauce as well. I think Munster cheese would be great with the cheddar instead of mozzarella.

Would you recommend pre baking the dough even if it’s homemade dough? Thanks!

Yes, we would recommend that you pre-bake the dough because the buffalo sauce is quite wet.
