TODAY’S WEIRD & WILD PIZZA:
FRIED CHICKEN JALAPENO RANCH PIZZA
The Weird & Wild “Fried Chicken and Jalapeno Ranch Pizza” is a fried piece of heaven. Layered with fried chicken, jalapenos and mozzarella cheese on top of arguably the best sauce in the world, Ranch.
At first glance it appeared to be too much of a good thing but the end results were a comforting home-style fried chicken plus the fried warmth of the sneaky jalapeno pepper, also adding a much needed touch of freshness. The melted mozza melds the ingredients together, but you can’t forget the classic Ranch flavor carrying the fried goodness to yes….I already said it….but ima say it again….heaven!
