After years on the Food Network and countless recipes featured on The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond admits there’s one dish she wishes had never made it onto the show.
During a conversation with daughters Alex Drummond Scott and Paige Drummond Andersen at the George W. Bush Presidential Center, the Food Network star admitted that, like any home cook, she’s had her share of kitchen mishaps. This time, however, one memorable fail ended up being featured on the show.
The event, which promoted Drummond's cookbook The Pioneer Woman Cooks: The Essential Recipes, covered a wide range of topics. During one moment, she candidly admitted to a recipe mistake she now wishes viewers had never seen.
In a YouTube video from the event, Paige asked her mother, "What dish do you highly regret ever showing the world on your show?" Drummond then shared a story that illustrated the challenges of creating original recipes.

"The production company would come out five times a year," Drummond began. "They would stay three weeks at a time and we would film eight episodes, about 40 shows a year."
"Usually by the end of the shoot, everyone is tired of cooking, tired of food, and really racing to get everything done before [the production crew] goes back to London. So the very last episode of the shoot, I had this idea that it would be really cool to do a chicken strip pizza."
Drummond continued, "What I had in mind was, in the early days of California Pizza Kitchen, they used to have fried chicken pizza. In my mind, I was going to make these little popcorn chicken nuggets and make a homemade crust."
Basically, she intended to make a cheese pizza and top it with popcorn chicken and coleslaw. Since it was the last episode of the season, Drummond and the crew didn't have much time to pull together a recipe, so several shortcuts were used.
Drummond was asked if she minded using a ready-made crust and frozen chicken strips as part of the recipe. She agreed, although it was a departure from her original idea.
"The chicken strips were way too big, and this pizza was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. After I put the chicken strips on there, they just fell like bricks. Then I inexplicably poured pickles over the top," she concluded. Paige added that the recipe ultimately went viral on TikTok for being the worst thing the Pioneer Woman has ever made.
The Pioneer Woman airs new episodes on the Food Network Saturdays at 10 a.m. ET. Reruns air throughout the week and on Max.
