Top Tips when making BBQ Chicken Pizza Toast

1. Toast the Bread First: Lightly toasting before adding toppings prevents sogginess.
2. Use Rotisserie or Leftover Chicken: Saves time and adds extra flavour.
3. Don’t Overload: Less is more as too many toppings can make the toast soggy.
4. Use Smoky BBQ Sauce: It adds depth and gives that true BBQ pizza flavour.
5. Add Toppings Last Minute: If adding fresh herbs or sauces, sprinkle them after baking for best texture and flavour.
