Time: PT5M
Prepare Barbecue Butter Glaze
In a small saucepan melt 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, then whisk in barbecue sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Keep warm on low heat; do not let it boil.

Preheat Pizza Oven
Open the pizza oven and let it heat up to about 750°F (400°C). This takes roughly 10 minutes.

Cook Chicken Thighs
Using tongs, carefully place the thighs skin‑side down in the hot skillet. Cook 5‑6 minutes until the skin is deep golden and releases easily. Flip and cook another 5‑6 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 175°F (80°C).
Time: PT12M

Time: PT5M
Cook Salmon
Slide the plank with salmon into the pizza oven, positioning the thick end toward the hottest zone. Cook 4 minutes, then rotate the plank and cook another 4‑5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 120‑125°F (49‑52°C) for medium‑rare.
