Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough (about 12-inch round)

Cheese and Sauce

  • ~1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, grated (divided: 1/2 to 3/4 cup + 1/4 cup)
  • Gochujang BBQ Sauce, about 3 tablespoons (divided: 2 tablespoons + drizzle)

Toppings

  • 1–2 Leftover Korean BBQ Chicken Thighs, thinly sliced
  • Kimchi, squeezed to remove excess liquid, quantity as desired for topping
  • 1–2 Scallions, thinly sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) with a pizza stone or steel inside to ensure a crisp crust. On a lightly floured pizza peel, roll, stretch, or spin your prepared pizza dough into a 12-inch round shape.
  2. Apply Sauce: Brush about 2 tablespoons of Gochujang BBQ sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Aim for coverage that is flavorful but not too wet to avoid sogginess.
  3. Add Cheese and Chicken: Sprinkle 1/2 to 3/4 cup of grated mozzarella cheese over the sauced dough. Then arrange thinly sliced leftover Korean BBQ chicken thighs evenly over the cheese layer.
  4. Top with Kimchi: Squeeze excess liquid from kimchi to prevent sogginess and scatter it evenly on top of the chicken and cheese.
  5. Final Cheese and Sauce Layer: Sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup of grated mozzarella cheese over the kimchi and drizzle a little more Gochujang BBQ sauce on top to enhance flavor and color.
  6. Bake the Pizza: Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or steel in the oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is puffed and golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Thinly slice the scallions and sprinkle over the pizza as a fresh garnish. Slice the pizza and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Using a pizza stone or steel helps achieve a crispier crust by evenly distributing heat.
  • Be sure to squeeze excess liquid from the kimchi to avoid making the pizza soggy.
  • If leftover Korean BBQ chicken is not available, you can substitute with freshly cooked Korean-style chicken thighs.
  • Adjust the amount of Gochujang BBQ sauce to your preferred spice level.
  • Letting the pizza rest after baking helps the cheese set slightly for cleaner slices.
