Serves: 2 - 4

Cook time: 10 minutes
Indirect Heat: 500F - 525F
Note: the dough recipe rising time is 2 - 4 hours
What you'll need:
For the Dough recipe:
For the Toppings:
Tip: don't overload the toppings on this pizza, let the chicken and bbq sauce shine through.
Step 1:
Add the warm water and yeast to a large mixing bowl and stir to mix, let sit 5 minutes.
Combine the rest of the pizza dough recipe ingredients to the bowl and stir lightly with a fork until the mixture starts to clump.
Knead the mixture for 2 minutes with your fists and then form the dough into a ball.
Place the dough in a glass bowl that's been coated or sprayed with cooking oil.
Roll the dough over in the bowl several times so it's also coated with the oil and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
Let rise for 2 - 4 hours in a warm draft-free location until doubled in size.
Step 2:
Cut the chicken and red onion into small 1/2" - 3/4" pieces and sautee in a pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
Cook chicken fully and allow the onion to soften.
Step 3:
Sprinkle a little flour on your working surface.
Place the dough on the floured surface and begin lightly working the dough outwards in even thickness and a shape that will fit on your pizza stone.
Step 4:
Sprinkle cornmeal over a pizza peel or large platter slightly bigger then the crust.
Transfer the dough to the cornmeal covered peel or platter.
This will make transferring the pizza to the BBQ much easier.
Spread the BBQ Sauce evenly over the surface of the pizza, stay in a 1/2" from the edge.
Depending on the size of crust you made you might need more than the 1/4 BBQ sauce indicated.
Spread the cooked chicken, onion and bacon evenly over the top of the barbeque sauce.
Top off this bbq chicken pizza recipe with as much mozzarella cheese as you desire.
Step 5:
Set up your grill or barbecue for indirect cooking.
Place a pizza stone on the grates.
Preheat grill to 500F - 525F.
When the grill reaches temperature, cover the pizza stone generously with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Place the bbq chicken pizza recipe on the stone and close the lid.
Cook 8 - 14 minutes depending on how soft or crispy you want the crust. Check occasionally to make sure the crust isn't burning.
Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
