Preparation
- Heat oven to 450°F.
- On a lightly oiled work surface, roll out or hand stretch pizza dough into a 10-inch x 14-inch rectangle. Place on an oiled baking sheet sprinkled lightly with cornmeal.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over pizza crust; top with 6 ounces shredded cheese.
- To prepare Buffalo sauce; combine cayenne pepper sauce and butter in a bowl and whisk to blend.
- Combine 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce and heated chicken strips in a large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer Buffalo chicken strips to a cutting board and slice into 1-inch strips. Arrange on pizza crust; top with remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Remove from oven.
- Top with crumbled bleu cheese, chopped green onions and remaining Buffalo sauce. Slice pizza into 3-inch squares.
