Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

  • Sucklebusters Clucker Dust Chicken Rub
  • 3/4 cup Southern Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce by Southbound Barbecue
  • 2 Chicken Breasts (or cut of your choice), total of 3 cups Shredded Chicken
  • 3/4 Cup Pineapple
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/3 Cup Yellow Cornmeal
  • 1 lb Pizza Dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 Cup Shredded Smoked Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Cup Shredded Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Diced Red Onion
  • Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper (to taste)
  • 3 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Cilantro Leaves

Instructions

  1. Prep grill for indirect cooking at 300 °F.
  2. Trim chicken, use the Southern Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce as a binder and season the chicken with the Sucklebusters Clucker Dust Chicken Rub on both sides.
  3. Cook chicken at 300 °F until reaching an internal temperature of 160 °F. Let cool, then shred (3 cups).
  4. Increase grill temperature to 450-500 °F. If you don’t have a baking stone, lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
  5. Sprinkle cornmeal on the working surface and roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
  6. Using a small ladle, spread Southern Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce over the surface of the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  7. Top with chicken, pineapple, cheeses and onion; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  8. Place on grill and bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses have melted. This will vary with heat, dough thickness, and cooking surface.
  9. Let cool, garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
