Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2-3 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough
- 1 can (8 count) biscuits
Toppings
- Butter for brushing
- Parsley for sprinkling
- Optional: ranch dressing for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, hot sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
- Prepare Biscuits: Take each biscuit and flatten it out to about 4-5 inches in diameter to create a larger surface area for filling.
- Fill and Seal: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place a portion of the chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Pull the edges of the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch to seal tightly, ensuring there are no gaps.
- Arrange and Butter: Place each sealed biscuit seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter to promote browning and enhance flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish and Serve: After baking, brush the tops with additional melted butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Optionally, drizzle with ranch dressing before serving for extra flavor.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to make these more or less spicy according to your preference.
- If you don’t have biscuits, you can use crescent roll dough as a substitute.
- Make sure to seal the biscuits tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out while baking.
- Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for a classic buffalo flavor pairing.
- For a crispier exterior, consider brushing with butter mixed with garlic powder or smoked paprika before baking.
