Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set your pizza dough to the side to come to room temperature.
2. Caramelize the onions. Add onion slices and butter to a saucepan over low heat. Cook until the onions are tender and golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside** Note: No time to caramelize? Sautee them for 10-15 minutes. Still delicious!
3. If you are using a premade crust, place it on a pizza pan and continue to step 4.
   a. If you are using handmade dough, sprinkle some flour onto your surface and roll the dough out to about a 12-inch crust. Sprinkle with a little salt. *Flour is the key to non-sticky dough! Place on pizza pan.
4. Spread Big Jr’s Buttz sauce all over the dough, making sure to leave a little border around the edge.
5. Add chicken, onions, bacon, mozzarella and cheddar cheese – in that order. For a little extra razzle dazzle, add a sprinkle of Big Jr’s Smoky Buttz Rub.
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. You know it’s done when the cheese is melty and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes.

Note: Oven temperatures vary. Keep a close eye on your pizza!
