Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped celery or green onions

Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough (8 oz)

Optional Extras

  • Additional cheese like pepper jack or blue cheese crumbles for extra flavor
  • Jalapeños or extra hot sauce for added heat
  • Ranch dressing for mixing into filling or serving
  • Butter for brushing tops before baking

Instructions

  1. Prep the filling: Shred the cooked chicken and combine it in a bowl with buffalo sauce and softened cream cheese. Mix until creamy and evenly blended, then gently fold in shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese to keep it melty without overmixing.
  2. Prepare the dough: Roll out the biscuit or crescent dough on a clean surface. Cut the dough into evenly sized squares or triangles, ensuring each piece is large enough to hold a spoonful of filling.
  3. Assemble the bombs: Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each dough piece. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal and prevent leakage during baking.
  4. Chill (optional): For better shape retention, chill the assembled bombs in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking.
  5. Bake to perfection: Arrange the bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter if desired. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Let the bombs cool slightly to allow the filling to set for easier handling. Serve warm with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the dough pieces to avoid bursting during baking.
  • Use high-quality buffalo sauce for the best flavor.
  • Chilling assembled bombs before baking helps maintain their shape.
  • Brushing butter on top adds a golden, crispy crust.
  • Buffalo Chicken Bombs are best served warm to enjoy melty cheese and bold flavors.
