Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out 12 oz of all-purpose pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Spread 1/2 cup of tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese uniformly on top.
  3. Step 3: Arrange 8 grilled chicken wings spaced evenly on the cheese layer. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the pizza and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  6. Step 6: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately brush the garlic butter evenly over the top. Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
