A flavorful Korean Chicken BBQ Pizza that reinvents leftover Korean barbecue chicken with spicy Gochujang sauce, mozzarella cheese, tangy kimchi, and scallion garnish. This quick and easy pizza offers a delicious fusion of Korean and Italian flavors, perfect for a movie night or a creative weeknight meal.

Ingredients

For the Pizza

  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough (about 12-inch round)
  • ~1 to 1¼ cups Mozzarella Cheese, grated
  • 1-2 Leftover Korean BBQ Chicken Thighs, thinly sliced
  • About ¼ cup Kimchi, squeezed of excess liquid
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang BBQ Sauce, plus additional for drizzling
  • 1-2 Scallions, thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) with a pizza stone or steel inside. Roll, stretch, or spin your prepared pizza dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured pizza peel.
  2. Apply Sauce and Cheese: Brush about 2 tablespoons of Gochujang barbecue sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Spread an even layer of ½ to ¾ cup grated mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
  3. Add Chicken and Kimchi: Arrange the thinly sliced leftover Korean BBQ chicken thighs uniformly over the cheese. Next, evenly distribute the excess liquid-squeezed kimchi over the chicken and cheese layer.
  4. Top with More Cheese and Sauce: Sprinkle about ¼ cup more grated mozzarella cheese over the toppings, then drizzle some additional Gochujang barbecue sauce for extra flavor.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone or steel and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is puffed and golden, and the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. While resting, thinly slice 1-2 scallions and sprinkle them over the pizza. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use leftover Korean BBQ chicken for best flavor, but you can substitute with freshly cooked thinly sliced chicken thighs marinated in Korean BBQ sauce.
  • Squeeze excess liquid out of kimchi to prevent soggy pizza.
  • If you don’t have a pizza stone or steel, you can bake the pizza on an inverted baking sheet preheated in the oven.
  • Adjust the amount of Gochujang BBQ sauce based on your spice preference.
  • Allowing the pizza to rest before slicing helps set the cheese and improves texture.
