Introduction

Buffalo Chicken Bombs are the perfect blend of spicy, creamy, and cheesy flavors wrapped in golden, flaky biscuit dough. These handheld bites make a fantastic appetizer or snack that’s quick to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser. Ready in under 30 minutes, they’re ideal for game day, potlucks, or cozy weeknight dinners.

Six golden brown biscuits sit on white parchment paper lined on a baking tray, each biscuit showing a slightly uneven round shape with flaky texture visible on the sides. Their tops are glossy and covered in melted cheddar cheese with small green parsley pieces scattered over them and also spread lightly on the parchment between the biscuits. The background surface underneath the tray is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or baked)
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly mixed.
Step 3: Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 4: Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each biscuit.
Step 5: Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside and gently roll into a ball.
Step 6: Place each sealed biscuit seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Step 7: Brush the tops of each biscuit ball with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Step 8: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9: If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Don’t overfill the biscuit dough; about a tablespoon of filling per biscuit is ideal to prevent leaks.
Use shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience and consistent texture.
Swap mozzarella for cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack to vary the flavor.
Add crumbled blue cheese to the filling for extra tanginess.
For a milder version, mix buffalo sauce with extra cream cheese or butter.
Try BBQ sauce instead of buffalo for a different twist.
Freeze leftover bombs on a baking sheet before transferring to a sealed container; reheat in the oven for best texture.

Storage

Allow the Buffalo Chicken Bombs to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, place the cooled bombs on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for 1–2 hours. Then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag and store for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven or air fryer for 8–10 minutes. Avoid microwaving to prevent soggy or rubbery dough.

How to Serve

Six round golden brown biscuits sit on a white tray lined with white parchment paper, each biscuit topped with melted orange cheese and small green herb pieces scattered on top and around them. The biscuits have a fluffy, soft texture with slightly uneven tops and flaky edges, showing layers inside. The bright melted cheese forms a shiny, slightly crispy layer on each biscuit, contrasting with the light, airy dough below. The scene is set on a white marbled texture surface.
