Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10.2 oz) can refrigerated large biscuit dough (8 count)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Mix thoroughly until the filling is evenly combined.
- Step 2: Separate the biscuit dough pieces. Working one at a time, flatten each biscuit dough slightly using your hands or a rolling pin until it is about 4 inches in diameter.
- Step 3: Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken filling mixture into the center of the flattened dough. Gather the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the filling, pinching the seams tightly together to completely seal the filling inside and form a ball (the "bomb").
- Step 4: Place the sealed bombs seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is about 1 inch of space between each.
- Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the assembled bombs generously with the butter mixture.
- Step 6: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is puffed up, golden brown, and cooked through. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing, if desired.
Notes
- Leftover buffalo chicken bombs keep well stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for lunch meal prep.
- To reheat without sacrificing the crisp texture, use an air fryer or a 350°F oven for about 5 to 7 minutes instead of the microwave.
- These bombs make a fantastic appetizer, but turn them into a hearty main dish by serving alongside a crisp romaine salad or a simple platter of celery and carrot sticks for dipping.
- The key to a perfect bomb is a tight seal; ensure you pinch the seams thoroughly, otherwise the creamy filling will bubble out onto your baking sheet.
