  4. In the same sauté pan, add butter, sliced onions, and red wine vinegar. Cook on low heat for 5-10 minutes until caramelized.
  5. Roll out your pizza dough to your desired shape on a floured surface, then transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  6. Spread BBQ sauce over the rolled-out dough, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, then add BBQ chicken mixture and caramelized onions.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 13 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
