Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Buffalo Chicken Calzone Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 410Ā°F (210Ā°C) and greasing a 12-inch pizza pan to ensure your calzone comes out perfectly.
Step 2
In a large pot, place your chicken and cover it with salted water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil and let the chicken cook until itās no longer pink in the center, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 4
To be sure itās cooked through, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 165Ā°F (74Ā°C).
Step 5
Once the chicken is ready, transfer it to a bowl and shred it using two forksāthis is where the magic begins! Next, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt some butter.
Step 6
Add the shredded chicken along with your favorite Buffalo wing sauce, stirring it all together until the chicken is well-coated and heated through, which should take about 2 to 4 minutes.
Step 7
The aroma will be irresistible! Now, letās get to the fun partārolling out the dough! On a generously floured surface, roll your pizza dough into a perfect 12-inch round.
Step 8
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, then sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over it, making sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges.
Step 9
Spread that delicious chicken mixture over the cheese, and then top it off with the remaining cup of mozzarella cheese for that gooey goodness.
Step 10
To create your calzone, fold the dough in half and pinch the edges together to seal in all that flavor.
Step 11
Carefully transfer your calzone to the prepared pizza pan and give the top a nice brush with the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil for a golden finish.
Step 12
Finally, pop your calzone into the preheated oven and bake it until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 17 to 20 minutes.
Step 13
As it bakes, your kitchen will fill with mouthwatering scents that will have everyone eagerly waiting for a slice.
Step 14
