Buffalo Chicken Pita Pizza

I made buffalo chicken wings for the big game last night (Yeah Saints!), but I failed to take a few things into account. 1. Two of my roommates don't like spicy food; 2. One guy was just coming from dinner with his girlfriend; 3. Nobody was bringing friends to our party. The three pounds of wings I bought (and prepared, again, not taking those above things into consideration) were way too much. So I have days' worth of leftover buffalo chicken. Be prepared for a bunch of buffalo recipes this week.

Ingredients:
1 Pita
Frank's Red Hot hot sauce
Mozzarella cheese
2-3 leftover chicken wings

Procedure:
Set oven temperature to 450F. While it is warming up, splash the pita with some water and throw it in for a minute or two. It'll get nice and soft. Put it on a baking sheet, and shake some Franks into the center (I like to leave only the outer half inch or so not covered with hot sauce, but that's your call).

Place a good handful of cheese in the center of the pita, and spread it towards the edge. Cut the chicken from the bones and place it haphazardly in the cheese. Cover with more cheese, and put the baking sheet (with the pizza on it, obviously) into the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and starts to turn brown.

Tips:
Pita pizzas are one of my favorite ways of getting rid of leftover anything: vegetables, taco meat, ham and pineapples, whatever. They're so easy to make, are always a perfect single serving for lunch, and they taste great. This buffalo chicken style pita pizza is restaurant quality, if I may say so myself. Delicious.

In all, 5/5
