Ingredients

Scale

Buffalo Chicken Filling

  • 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

Dough and Topping

  • 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

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Prepare biscuit dough: Separate the biscuit dough into 8 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or use a rolling pin to create enough surface area for filling.
  4. Fill the biscuits: Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit.
  5. Form the bombs: Carefully pinch the dough edges around the filling to seal completely and gently roll into a ball, ensuring no filling escapes.
  6. Arrange and season: Place each biscuit bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder for a savory finish.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Garnish and serve: Optionally sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Let them cool slightly to avoid burning, then serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the biscuits to avoid leaks during baking—about a tablespoon per biscuit is ideal.
  • Seal the dough edges tightly for neat appearance and no filling spillage.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone mat on your baking sheet for easier cleanup.
  • These can be made ahead by preparing the filling in advance and refrigerating until ready to assemble and bake.
  • Freeze baked bombs by first chilling them on a baking sheet, then storing in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.
  • Avoid microwaving reheated bombs as it can make the dough rubbery.
  • Customize by adding ingredients like bacon, celery, or blue cheese crumbles to the filling.
