I douse the chicken in barbecue sauce: If the chicken goes on top of the
sauce, its risk of drying out is much greater. Monterey Jack (or pepper
jack) works well for the cheese.

If I use onions, I'll use red onions, but sparingly.

After the pizza comes out of the oven and sits for a minute or so, I like to
sprinkle it with toasted sesame seeds. I also like to serve it with a
vinegary cucumber salad or cole slaw.

I've followed this thread with much interest!

Never heard of such a thing as BBQ chicken'd pizza!

I would toss on some baked chicken, shredded, halfway through and dribble
some hickory and brown sugar BBQ sauce over the pieces.

Don't know that I'd want the entire pizza to be lathered in BBQ sauce.

Worth a try. What the heck?!

Best,

Andy
