Ingredients:

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

1/2 cup Buffalo sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup ranch dressing

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough

1/4 cup melted butter

1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions:

Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your Buffalo Chicken Bombs.

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of Buffalo sauce. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Prepare the Dough

Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a round shape.

Fill the Dough

Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit dough piece. Be careful not to overfill to ensure the dough can seal properly.

Form the Bombs

Fold the dough around the chicken filling, pinching the edges to seal and forming a ball. Ensure each ball is sealed tightly to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.

Bake the Bombs

Place the formed bombs on a baking sheet. Brush each bomb with melted butter to add flavor and help achieve a golden brown color. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.

Add the Finishing Touches

Once baked, drizzle the bombs with ranch dressing and sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a burst of freshness and added flavor.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve the Buffalo Chicken Bombs immediately while they are warm and gooey. Enjoy the spicy, cheesy, and buttery flavors in every bite.

Serving Tips:

Serve Warm: Buffalo Chicken Bombs are best enjoyed immediately after baking when they are warm and gooey.

Garnish: Before serving, drizzle extra ranch dressing over the bombs and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and flavor.

Accompaniments: Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping to complement the spicy flavors.

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: Store any leftover Buffalo Chicken Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Reheating: To reheat, place the bombs on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.

Freezing: While these bombs are best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze unbaked bombs for later use. After forming them, place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. When ready to bake, no need to thaw; simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Avoid Microwaving: While possible, microwaving may make the biscuit dough soggy. It’s best to reheat in the oven for optimal texture.
