2 Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
3 The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a cast iron skillet and roast for 25 minutes or until the vegetables have softened and edges are browned. This can be done a day in advance.
Lay the dough onto the grill, oil side down. Cover and grill over medium coals, about 3 minutes, or until dough is puffed and the underside is browned. Using tongs, turn the pizza over and quickly spread the top with the ranch dressing. Sprinkle the cheese, vegetables, and chicken over the dressing and cover.
Grill 2–3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the underside of the pizza is browned. Use tongs to slide the pizza onto a cutting board.
Drizzle the smoked hickory barbecue sauce on top, and sprinkle with chopped oregano.
Slice and serve!
