Ingredients

For the Buffalo Sauce:

⅓ cup Frank’s Original Red Hot Sauce see note
4 tablespoons salted butter melted
1 garlic clove finely minced
2 teaspoons honey
¼ teaspoon salt

For the Naan Pizzas:

4 mini naan breads original flavor, see note
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ red onion thinly sliced
4 ounces ricotta cheese
Salt and pepper
Ranch or blue cheese dressing optional
Green onions green parts only, thinly sliced, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
For the Buffalo Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, garlic, honey, and salt until well combined.
⅓ cup Frank’s Original Red Hot Sauce, 4 tablespoons salted butter, 1 garlic clove, 2 teaspoons honey, ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Naan Pizzas: Spread about 2 teaspoons of buffalo sauce onto each naan and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the sauce and toss the remaining sauce with the shredded chicken.
4 mini naan breads, 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
Top each naan with ½ cup buffalo chicken, ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, a few slices of red onion, and a 1-ounce dollop of ricotta cheese.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 4 ounces ricotta cheese, ¼ red onion
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the naan is crispy.
Let the pizzas cool slightly before slicing. Serve with salt and pepper to taste, a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing, and a sprinkle of green onions, if desired.
Salt and pepper, Ranch or blue cheese dressing, Green onions

Notes

Frank’s Red Hot Sauce: Use the “Original” flavor, not “Buffalo,” as the latter contains imitation butter. This recipe uses a homemade buffalo sauce for a fresher, more authentic flavor.
Shredded Chicken: Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful option, or cook and shred chicken breasts in advance. If you’re in a pinch, canned chicken works, but the texture may differ slightly.
Mini Naan Bread: The recipe uses original mini naan breads by Stonefire, which are perfectly portioned for individual pizzas. Garlic naan can be used for added flavor, or regular-sized naan works too—just note that the recipe will yield two larger pizzas instead of four minis.
Storage Tips: Store leftover pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crispy.
