Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your dough.

Cook the Chicken

• Simmer the chicken thighs in a pot of water for about 25 minutes. Return chicken to the empty pot and add the buffalo sauce and butter.
• Take them from the water and let them cool, then shred.
• Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

Prepare Your Toppings.

• Make sure all of your toppings are ready before you stretch out your dough. Have the sauce made, the cheese grated, etc.
• The ingredient ratios in the recipe assume a pizza that's 12 inches in diameter. So adjust either your dough weight OR your ingredients, if necessary.

Make the Blue Cheese Sauce

• To make the blue cheese sauce, whisk or use a food processor to combine the blue cheese and mayonnaise.

Prepare Your Dough

• Stretch or roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface.
• Place the dough on your peel or pizza pan.
  

Parbake the Pizza

• Because spreading the Cheez Whiz can tear your dough, this pizza benefits from parbaking it - which means partially cooking it.
• Depending on your pizza recipe and cooking temperature, the length of time for parbaking will vary.
• I recommend parbaking for 1/3 of the total cooking time. So if your dough recipe says 18 minutes, parbake for 6, then take it out to top it. If it's a Neapolitan at 800+ degrees, you can parbake for about 30 seconds.

Top Your Pizza

• Remove the pizza from the oven and put on a heat-resistant surface.
• Spread a thin, even layer of the Blue Cheese dressing over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of crust uncovered.
  
• Distribute the shredded chicken evenly across the pizza.
  
• Top it off with the grated Mozzarella cheese for that irresistible melty finish.
• Finally add the sliced red onion. The direct exposure to the heat will soften the flavor.

Finish the Bake

• Transfer the topped pizza back to the oven.
• Continue to bake for the remaining 2/3 of the time (per the dough recipe), and until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly on top, and the crust underneath is browned and firm.
• Allow the pizza to rest on a cutting board for 3 to 5 minutes.
  
• Slice and serve immediately!
