This recipe is everything you love about crispy chicken tossed in a buttery, hot-and-spicy Buffalo sauce piled on a golden bubbly cheese pizza garnished with crumbled bleu cheese, fresh chopped green onions and even more zesty Buffalo sauce.

PREPARATION:

6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Remove from oven.
