Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp green onions, chopped

Biscuit Dough & Topping

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Dipping Sauce

  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your chicken bombs are assembled.
  2. Prepare the chicken mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix them thoroughly until everything is evenly blended.
  3. Assemble the bombs: Take each biscuit from the refrigerated dough and flatten it out gently with your hands. Place a spoonful of the prepared chicken mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges over the filling, pinching them together tightly to enclose the filling completely and form a sealed ball.
  4. Place on baking sheet: Arrange each sealed ball seam-side down on a greased baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  5. Brush and season: Brush the tops of the biscuit balls with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder to add flavor and encourage browning.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuit dough turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling is hot.
  7. Serve: Remove the buffalo chicken bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping to complement the spicy and cheesy flavors.

Notes

  • Use cream cheese softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Make sure to pinch the biscuit edges tightly to avoid any filling leakage during baking.
  • For extra heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
  • Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a couple of extra minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
  • Great for parties and game day snacks, pair with celery sticks for a classic Buffalo flavor experience.
