Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza

I have this Habanero Hot Honey from Akron Honey and I have been dying to use it! Akron honey is a local business that has the best honey & I love their seasonal flavors. I knew I wanted to make a pizza with it but I wanted to go a little extra with it. I got some inspiration for a Nashville Hot Chicken pizza but I decided that I wanted to make it my way. My way includes brining the chicken breast in pickle juice for 4-6 hours, a ranch base for the sauce, and using a homemade sourdough crust. If you want to make your own crust be sure to start a day early!

Ingredients

The Chicken

  • 1 Chicken Breast, cubed
  • 1 Cup Pickle Juice
  • 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 Cup Milk
  • 2 TSBP Your Favorite Hot sauce
  • 2 Cups Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 TBSP Chili Powder
  • 1/2 TBSP Paprika
  • 1/2 TBSP Garlic Powder
  • Salt & Pepper

The Pizza

Let’s Get Cooking

Brine your chicken breast in pickle juice for 4-6 hours.

Afterwards, Rinse and cube. Prep your dredge. In one bowl, combine flour + salt + pepper + chili powder paprika + garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and hot sauce. Finally, pour the panko bread crumbs onto a plate.

Time to dredge your chicken. Start by dredging the chicken in flour, then the egg mixture, and finally, in the panko. Once all coated, place on a lined baking sheet and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

After the 30 minutes, air fry the chicken in batches at 400F for 15-20 min. Once all cooked, toss in the Nashville hot sauce.

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Place your pizza dough on a prepared pan. Spread ranch on the dough, then add sliced red onions, the cooked chicken, pickles, and blue cheese crumbles. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle over the hot honey & extra Nashville hot sauce.

Resist the temptation and wait a few moments before biting into this deliciousness so you don’t burn off your taste buds!
