  3. Coat the edges of the dough with olive oil to achieve a golden, crispy crust.
  4. Toss the cooked chicken pieces with BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  5. Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  6. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauced area.

  8. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
