Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, mix the chicken with barbecue sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Pro tip: The longer the chicken marinates, the more intense the flavors will be.
Smoke the Chicken
Smoke the Chicken Preheat your grill to medium heat. Add wood chips for smoking. Cook the marinated chicken for about 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked. Check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F / 74°C by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The juices should run clear.
Pro tip: Use applewood or cherrywood for a mild flavor.
Prepare the Dough
While the chicken is smoking, roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, forming a circle or rectangle according to your preference.
Pro tip: Let the dough rest for a few minutes to make it easier to roll out.
Assemble the Pizza
Spread a layer of barbecue sauce on the dough, then add the smoked chicken, red onions, and bell peppers.
Pro tip: Do not overload the pizza to ensure it cooks evenly.
Add the Cheese
Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza.
Pro tip: For an even more golden crust, sprinkle a little parmesan on the cheese.
Cook the Pizza
Place the pizza on the preheated grill and close the lid. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
Pro tip: Keep an eye on the cooking to prevent the pizza from burning.
Garnish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the grill, garnish with fresh cilantro, and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Pro tip: Serve with some barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
