Description

These Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer featuring tender shredded chicken tossed in tangy buffalo sauce, wrapped in flaky biscuit dough, and baked to golden perfection. Each bite is filled with mozzarella and optional blue cheese, then brushed with a flavorful ranch butter glaze for an irresistible snack or party treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Buffalo Chicken Filling

  • 3/4 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

Biscuit Bombs

  • 1 (12-oz.) can Pillsbury biscuit dough
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

Ranch Butter Glaze

  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp. ranch seasoning

Additional Ingredients

  • Cooking spray, for greasing pan
  • Ranch dressing and blue cheese dressing, for serving (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Filling: Arrange an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch round baking pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce, mayonnaise, and kosher salt. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken with the buffalo sauce mixture.
  2. Shape the Biscuit Bombs: Flatten each biscuit round with your fingers until about 1/4 inch thick to create a thin layer of dough. Spoon approximately a tablespoon-sized scoop of the chicken mixture onto the center of each biscuit round. Sprinkle an even portion of Monterey Jack cheese and blue cheese (if using) over the chicken. Carefully gather the edges of the dough together, pinching the seams tightly to seal and form a ball with the filling completely enclosed. Place each biscuit bomb seam side down in the prepared baking pan.
  3. Brush with Ranch Butter: In a small bowl, stir together the melted unsalted butter and ranch seasoning until combined. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of all the biscuit bombs to add flavor and help with browning.
  4. Bake the Biscuit Bombs: Bake the biscuit bombs for 10 to 12 minutes until they start to turn golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and brush the biscuit bombs again with the ranch butter. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the biscuits are nicely toasted and a deep golden color.
  5. Serve: Carefully transfer the baked Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs to a serving platter. Offer ranch dressing and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping, if desired, and serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
  • Blue cheese is optional but adds authentic buffalo wing flavor; omit if you prefer or replace with extra Monterey Jack.
  • For extra spice, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
  • Make sure to seal the biscuit dough well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • These bombs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in an oven to maintain crispness.
