Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits (not flaky)
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 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
Additional Toppings and Garnishes
- 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce (divided)
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion (for garnish)
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and ¼ cup buffalo sauce until smooth and well combined. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion. Stir all ingredients together thoroughly to create about 2 ½ cups of buffalo chicken filling.
- Preheat the oven and prepare skillet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the biscuits: Remove the refrigerated biscuits from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll each biscuit out to approximately ⅛-inch thickness to create a thin base for wrapping the filling.
- Fill and seal the biscuits: Evenly divide the buffalo chicken filling among the eight rolled-out biscuits, using about ¼ cup filling per biscuit. Place the filling in the center of each biscuit, then carefully pinch and seal the edges completely to enclose the filling inside.
- Brush with buffalo sauce: Place the sealed biscuits seam-side down in the prepared skillet. Using about 2 tablespoons of the remaining buffalo sauce, brush the tops of each biscuit generously. Reserve the leftover buffalo sauce for drizzling after baking.
- Bake until golden: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 24 to 26 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked through.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, drizzle the reserved buffalo sauce over the tops of the chicken bombs and sprinkle with the remaining finely diced green onion for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve warm with blue cheese or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use refrigerated biscuits labeled as “not flaky” for best results in holding the filling without tearing.
- Room temperature cream cheese blends more easily for a smooth filling.
- Rotisserie chicken provides a flavorful shortcut but leftover cooked chicken can also be used.
- If you prefer extra spice, increase the buffalo sauce in the filling or on top.
- Ensure biscuits are sealed tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- These bombs are best enjoyed fresh and warm out of the oven.
