Ingredients
- 12 oz all-purpose pizza dough
- 8 pieces grilled chicken wings
- 3 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
