Heavyweight Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza Rope

Step-by-step instructions

Now that you have your ingredients, it’s time to move on to the cooking method. Follow these easy steps for your Heavyweight Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza Rope:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures a crispy crust.
Roll out your pizza dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a little space around the edges.
Layer on the shredded chicken, followed by the sliced red onion and jalapeños.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once out of the oven, let it cool slightly before drizzling with ranch dressing and hot sauce.
Finally, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, slice, and serve hot. Enjoy!

How to serve Heavyweight Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza Rope

This pizza rope is as much about presentation as it is about taste. Serve it fresh from the oven and watch as everyone dives in! Consider pairing it with a refreshing side salad or some crunchy veggies and dip. For a more complete meal, some crispy sweet potato fries or a fruit platter can balance the spice and make your dinner spread irresistible.

Storage and reheating tips

Leftovers? No problem! To keep your Heavyweight Spicy BBQ Chicken Pizza Rope fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for up to 3 days. For reheating, pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain that crispy texture. If you’d like to freeze it, wrap the unbaked pizza tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil; it will keep well for up to 2 months.

Helpful cooking tips

Here are some extra tips to elevate your pizza-making game. For a more intense flavor, try marinating the shredded chicken in a bit of BBQ sauce before adding it to the pizza. If you like it extra spicy, feel free to add more jalapeños or even some crushed red pepper flakes. Using fresh toppings like diced bell peppers or corn can also add a tasty twist!

Creative twists

Feeling adventurous? Here are some variations you can try! Swap out the BBQ sauce for a tangy buffalo sauce for a different flavor profile, or incorporate different cheeses like pepper jack for added heat. Add toppings like corn, bell peppers, or even pineapple for a sweet twist. The sky’s the limit!
