Introduction

Buffalo Chicken Bombs are a deliciously spicy and cheesy snack wrapped in a flaky biscuit crust. These handheld treats combine tender shredded chicken with creamy cheeses and bold buffalo sauce, perfect for game days or casual gatherings.

The image shows a black cast iron pan filled with twelve golden-brown baked biscuit balls arranged in a circle, each topped with small green herbs, sitting on a green cloth on a white marbled texture surface. Inside the pan, beneath the biscuit balls, a layer of melted orange cheese sauce is visible. To the left, a wooden board holds a biscuit cut in half, revealing a creamy white and orange cheese filling inside. In front, two small white bowls rest on the white marbled surface; one contains a thick creamy dip garnished with chopped green herbs, and the other holds a bright orange shredded cheese or sauce. Some small green herbs are scattered around the bowls on the white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits (not flaky)
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
¼ cup (68 g) buffalo sauce
2 cups (280 g) rotisserie chicken, shredded
¼ cup (28 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ cup (28 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon finely diced green onion
3 tablespoons buffalo sauce, divided
1 teaspoon finely diced green onion, for garnish
Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and ¼ cup buffalo sauce until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Add shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and 1 teaspoon diced green onion to the cream cheese mixture. Stir everything together until evenly mixed. You will have about 2½ cups of filling.
Step 3: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 4: Remove biscuits from the can and place them on a clean surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness.
Step 5: Divide the buffalo chicken filling evenly among the biscuits, placing about ¼ cup on each. Pinch the edges of each biscuit together to seal the filling inside.
Step 6: Place the sealed biscuits seam-side down in the prepared skillet. Use 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce to brush the tops of the biscuits evenly.
Step 7: Bake for 24 to 26 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8: Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the reserved buffalo sauce over the tops of the bombs. Garnish with the remaining diced green onion.
Step 9: Serve warm with extra buffalo sauce and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling mixture.
Swap rotisserie chicken for cooked ground chicken or turkey for a different texture.
Use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated for a fresher taste.
Try adding cooked bacon bits to the filling for smoky flavor.

Storage

Store leftover Buffalo Chicken Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the bombs a few hours in advance and refrigerate them before baking. Let them come to room temperature for about 10 minutes before placing in the oven.

Can I freeze Buffalo Chicken Bombs?

Absolutely. Freeze the unbaked bombs on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 5-7 extra minutes to the cooking time.
