00:01It's another edition of Cooking with Cal. What are we making today?
00:05Buffalo chicken focaccia pizza.
00:07Buffalo chicken focaccia pizza.
00:10Is mine going to be plain though?
00:11Yours will be plain though because it's hard to get kids to eat buffalo chicken focaccia pizza.
00:16But we're going to make two, okay?
00:18So while you were watching football, I made some homemade focaccia bread using the recipe on the side of the
00:25bag of the gluten-free flour we used.
00:27So you can just find your own recipe for focaccia wherever you find it. That'll work for this recipe.
00:32So now we'll get to the topping, okay?
00:34Okay.
00:34So you're going to help me at least make the buffalo chicken topping.
00:37Okay.
00:39You want to season the water that we're going to boil the chicken in.
00:41So I already have salted water and I need you now to peel and smash some garlic.
00:49You know what these are?
00:51Bay leaves.
00:52Bay leaves.
00:53They're kind of like dried out leaves that add a lot of flavor to the water.
00:57And then we can eat these.
00:59Well, we're not going to eat these. This is just flavoring the water.
01:03So now we're just going to take chunks of chicken, throw it into the water.
01:07We just need to cook the chicken through with all the flavor that we added to the water.
01:11And then we're going to shred the chicken once it's all cooked.
01:14We're going to bring this up to a boil, let the chicken cook through, and that's our chicken.
01:18Don't drop it.
01:19Don't drop it.
01:20Butterfingers.
01:21They're making me want it.
01:22Center right into the middle.
01:24Turn it.
01:25The other garlic we just threw in the pot of water.
01:28This garlic, we're going to use a microplane.
01:31What's a microplane?
01:32Is that a tiny plane?
01:33Kind of.
01:34It's a plane so we can kind of shred this.
01:37I just want to go like this and when it gets close to your fingers, let your fingers go a
01:41little fast.
01:42So now we're going to add the butter.
01:43This looks like a lot of butter, right?
01:45So the only way to make hot sauce less spicy is to add more butter.
01:50And I don't like it too spicy.
01:52Really?
01:53Yeah.
01:53How else can you like remove spice from something?
01:56Buffalo sauce is just hot sauce and butter, but we're going to add some garlic to it.
02:02We're going to let the butter melt, kind of soften up the garlic a little bit, and then we'll add
02:06the hot sauce.
02:08And then we'll put it all together.
02:09Okay.
02:10So you see how the butter's all melted?
02:13Yeah.
02:13And the garlic's kind of cooking a little bit?
02:15Yeah.
02:16Okay.
02:16Now we're ready to add the hot sauce.
02:17All of it.
02:18But don't let your hand touch the pot.
02:19I got it, Mom.
02:23Nice.
02:24Fully gently because you don't want it to splash.
02:26It looks really, really hot.
02:28Chicken's done.
02:29Let's shred the chicken.
02:32So I'm going to take just enough chicken for our pizza.
02:35Now we're going to make a buffalo chicken.
02:39Okay.
02:40Okay.
02:41A little more.
02:42Okay.
02:43First things first.
02:44Yeah.
02:44Take your fingers.
02:45Okay.
02:46And just go like that.
02:52Lots of sauce.
02:53I'm going to do my buffalo chicken.
02:59Now this is going to rise in the oven and get pretty, pretty messy.
03:03So we're going to put one here.
03:06Putting it on the bottom rack so it cooks through.
03:09Okay.
03:11We'll check back on it in a half hour.
03:21So good.
03:22Mmm.
