Winding Down Summer with BBQ Chicken Pizza on the Grill

Summer is starting to wind down. School has started, the leaves are beginning to change colors and evenings are developing a crisp chill. But I’m hanging on to summer a little while longer. I’m still pulling out the grill.

Trent and I have always enjoyed making pizza together. Over the last few years we have developed, what we think, is the perfect barbecue chicken pizza. It has tangy BBQ sauce, succulent chicken, crispy bacon, and a little heat, brought to you by a Serrano Pepper. This summer we even figured out a way to improve this pizza, which we didn’t think was possible. We cooked it on the grill. The Kitchn has a great guide for grilling pizzas. If you’ve never grilled your pizza before, I suggest heading over and reading the article rather than winging it. After cooking this pizza on the grill, it just makes sense to do a BBQ chicken pizza that way.

Today was a bit hard. We thought we had found the flat. We were even in the signing contracts phase. Then we were hit with a big blow and discovered that we weren’t going to get it after all. Quite devastating, considering this place was beautiful: newly remodeled, two bedrooms (I did not think we would find that in our price range), a regular (British) sized refrigerator (last year we only had a mini fridge), and you guys, it even had a dishwasher! Like they say, if it sounds too good to be true… So cross those fingers and say those prayers for us one more time; little G and I are supposed to head out next week to join Trent.
