Creamy BBQ Chicken Pizza

BBQ + Bourbon + Chicken = one pizza you don’t want to miss!

Pictures updated June 2015

I used to make pizzas quite frequently at our house. Most of the time they aren’t your cookie cutter Four Cheese pizzas, but rather Mediterranean Pizzas with hummus as the sauce or Kale Pesto as another base.

But recently all I was craving was the classic BBQ Chicken Pizza. But as a little surprise and to turn up the volume of flavor even more, I added a little bit of Knob Creek Bourbon to the sauce. Of course, that immediately got John’s attention. So take a few minutes to prepare this pizza that is packed full of flavor, crack open a beer, and press play on your DVR.
