I make this quick weeknight chicken pizza when I'm craving takeout. I like using shortcuts like premade pizza crust and rotisserie chicken to cut down on my time in the kitchen. —Joseph A. Sciascia, San Mateo, California

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Place pizza crust on a pizza pan; brush with sesame oil. In small bowl, combine hoisin sauce and chili garlic sauce; brush 1/3 cup over crust.
