How to Make Buffalo Chicken Pizza Roll?
This homemade pizza roll (stromboli) is an easy-to-make crowd-pleaser, so you can prepare and serve it whenever you have friends or family over but don’t have enough time for preparation! Here’s what you need for it:
- Ranch Sauce or White Sauce Dip for Nachos – This is a simple sauce that is basically a sour cream with some spices creating a perfect combination that can be mixed with numerous dishes.
- Pizza Dough Sheet – You can either use pre-made dough from the store or make your own.
- Half of Baked Chicken – While the measure is precise, you can either use half the leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken leftovers or buy half a chicken and bake it or fry it in a frying pan.
- Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce – What’s buffalo chicken without a buffalo wings sauce?
- Cheese – Cheese is just as essential as the chicken for this recipe because who doesn’t love that melted cheese that comes out when you cut this roll into pieces? You can choose whatever cheese you prefer or you have currently in the fridge.
Now that you have all the essential ingredients, you can begin with preparation.
- Start by shredding the chicken and then adding it to the bowl, where you will mix it with three tablespoons of Frank’s Redhot Buffalo Wings Sauce.
- Use 1 cup of White Sauce Dip for Nachos and spread it over the dough while leaving the rest as a dipping sauce.
- Spread the chicken mix vertically in the middle of the dough, add cheese on top of it, roll the dough, and twist the ends together so the cheese won’t go out during baking.
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C) and bake the roll for 20 minutes.
Serving Suggestions and Additional Tips
While I guarantee you will be anxious to try it out straight from the oven, let it set for at least 10 minutes after it’s baked, not only to prevent all the cheese from melting out but also to avoid getting your mouth burned.
Once it cools down, slice it into pieces as thick as you wish and serve it with the rest of the white sauce.
You can also choose to sprinkle some spring onions on top, but the sauce is already hot enough, so you might not want the extra hotness.
Speaking of the sauce, while it might not be too hot for adults, you should be careful with giving it to children. If you plan to do that, try a milder version, such as Texas Pete Extra Mild Wing Sauce.
Lastly, if you have any extra buffalo chicken left, you can save it for the next day and prepare a couple of chicken piadinas or tortillas.
