instructions

  • Add the chunks of chicken breast to a small bowl. Add buttermilk and 1 teaspoon of salt to the bowl and mix well with the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, blend ingredients for the blue cheese avocado dressing until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients for the buffalo sauce. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and add pizza stone to the oven to preheat. Roll out pizza dough to desired shape.
  • Add to hot pizza stone and pre-bake for 5 to 7 minutes until just starting to turn golden brown. Set aside.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and pepper for the fried buffalo chicken is a large sealable bag. Seal and shake the bag well to combine the dry ingredients.
  • Using a slotted spoon, drain the chicken pieces over the bowl and then add to the bag with the flour mixture.
  • Once all the chicken has been added to the bag, seal the bag and shake well until all of the chicken pieces are covered with the mixture.
  • In a medium heavy saucepan, heat approximately 5 inches of canola oil over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F.
  • Add the chicken pieces, frying about 5 at a time, for about 4-5 minutes until the chicken is golden brown. You may want to cut a piece open to make sure there is no pink inside or you can test the chicken with a thermometer, making sure it reaches at least 165°F.
  • Drain on a pan lined with paper towels. Once all the chicken is fried, add to a small bowl with 1/2 the buffalo sauce. Mix until all the chicken has a good coating of sauce.
  • Spread the remaining 1/2 of the buffalo sauce on the pizza crust. Top with mozzarella cheese and sliced red onion.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, or until melty and bubbling. Remove from oven. Top with chicken, blue cheese crumbles, chopped chives and chopped parsley.
  • Drizzle over blue cheese avocado dressing. Serve immediately.
