# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than ordering takeout and tastes just as indulgent.
  • The combo of tangy BBQ, melted mozzarella, and crispy edges hits every craving at once.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken or leftovers, so there's almost no prep involved.
  • It works as a quick weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing party snack.
02 -
  • Don't skip brushing the flatbread with olive oil—it makes the difference between soggy and crispy.
  • Let the flatbread cool for a minute or two before slicing, or the cheese will slide right off.
  • If your onions are too thick, they won't soften enough in the oven and can taste raw.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the flatbread cleanly without dragging the toppings.
  • If your BBQ sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water so it spreads easily.
  • Toast the flatbread alone for 3 minutes before adding toppings if you want an extra-crispy base.
