Ingredients
To make approximately 12 Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs, you will need:
- 1 can of biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury or a similar brand)
- 1 cup of cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce (adjust according to your heat preference)
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- Cooking spray or butter, for greasing the baking tray
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your biscuit bombs bake evenly and get that golden brown finish.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, shredded cheese, and ranch seasoning (if using). Stir until all the ingredients are well coated and combined.
Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to create a larger surface that can hold the filling.
Step 4: Fill the Biscuits
Place about a tablespoon of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill to ensure they can be sealed properly.
Step 5: Seal the Biscuit Bombs
Bring the edges of the biscuit up around the filling, pinching them together to seal completely. Roll it gently in your hands to form a smooth ball.
Step 6: Bake
Grease a baking tray with cooking spray or butter and place the sealed biscuit bombs on it, spacing them about an inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7: Serve
Once baked, remove the biscuit bombs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. For an extra burst of flavor, you can drizzle more buffalo sauce on top, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Tips for the Perfect Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs
- Customize the Filling: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add ingredients like diced celery or carrots for a little crunch.
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or mix it with some ranch dressing.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate it until you’re ready to assemble and bake the biscuit bombs.
