All aboard the Buffalo Chicken trainnnnn.
I’m still on it and don’t see an end anytime soon especially now that football is back and hockey is coming too.
I might not be the world’s biggest football fan but I am definitely the world’s biggest game day eats fan. Something it seems football and I can agree on.
I can’t believe it’s already Monday. It seems like this weekend flew by in a whirlwind ofrelaxing, sleeping, eating and marathon shopping at Ikea. I still don’t feel completely normal after my trip to China but I’m slowly getting back into the groove.
I also can’t believe that it’s already late September! This year really has just flown by, I feel like I’ve blinked and it’s almost gone. But coming up is some of the best times of the year with Halloween, Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas and New Years which means it’s time to start planning! And creating a bunch of really good food. Like Buffalo Chicken Pizza on Pork Rind Crust.
Let’s go eat some and talk about our holiday plans!
Notes
Obviously I made this pizza buffalo chicken but you could easily use this crust recipe for your own favorite toppings!
To mash pork rinds, place in a bag and use a rolling pin or wine bottle to crush into crumbs/dust/flour like texture.
If you don’t want to use parmesan in the crust, you can use another kind. Cheddar would be good.
If you want to make a bigger pizza, just double the crust size and cook slightly longer before adding toppings.

Instructions
