The first component is the sauce. Instead of putting just BBQ sauce on them, I mixed BBQ sauce with a sweet tomato sauce and added Cholula, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and granulated garlic. The sauces combined created a sweet and smoky flavor (like if I had added bacon) to the pizza.
The second component are the onions atop the pizza. Normally, they are raw red onions, but I made a little twist to it. I caramelized 1 large white, sweet onion and reduced it with red wine, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
The third component is the cheese. I'm not a cheese eater, so I just bought a bag of Mexican blended cheeses (Pepper Jack, Mozzarella, Cheddar, and Colby).
The fourth component is the chicken. I used cut up chicken thighs, seasoned with ground black pepper and granulated garlic. I pan fried the chicken with my infused garlic and basil grapeseed oil. The oil gave the chicken a great crust and enhanced the flavor.
Popped them in the oven at 350 degrees to crisp up and it off with some spring onion for a crisp and fresh taste.
