Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs

Buffalo Chicken Bombs are the ultimate comfort food my family never gets tired of. Enveloping creamy, spicy buffalo chicken and melty cheese inside warm biscuits means every bite is a flavor-packed surprise. These make the perfect appetizer for game day or a satisfying weeknight treat when you are craving something both familiar and bold.

I first made these for a summer barbecue and watched them disappear before the burgers even hit the grill. Now, they are my go-to when friends ask for something a little different but still familiar.

Ingredients

• Refrigerated biscuits: Choose classic style for best seal and to avoid flakiness that can break during assembly
• Cream cheese: Room temperature is a must for smooth mixing and luscious texture
• Buffalo sauce: Use your favorite brand Adjust heat by going mild or extra hot
• Rotisserie chicken: Shredded fresh or leftover for juicy filling and easy prep
• Sharp cheddar cheese: Sharpness adds a rich bite Look for block cheese you grate yourself for better melt
• Mozzarella cheese: Brings stretchy gooeyness Choose low moisture for less soggy results
• Green onion: Adds fresh flavor and color Choose vibrant stalks with crisp texture
• Extra buffalo sauce: For brushing and drizzling Enhances flavor and glossy finish
• Blue cheese or ranch dressing: Perfect for dipping Adds a creamy cooling counterpoint

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

In a large bowl whisk cream cheese and buffalo sauce together until completely smooth and there are no lumps This will give your filling a creamy spicy foundation

Add Chicken and Cheese:

Fold in shredded chicken sharp cheddar mozzarella and green onion Mix thoroughly so every piece is coated for even flavor in each bite

Roll out the Biscuits:

Take biscuits out of the can and set on your work surface Using a rolling pin flatten each to about one eighth inch thick Rolling evenly ensures a good seal and prevents chicken mixture from leaking

Stuff the Biscuits:

Spoon about one fourth cup buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each biscuit Pull edges up and pinch to seal tightly This keeps the filling inside during baking

Arrange and Brush:

Set the sealed bombs seam side down in a greased oven safe skillet Brush tops with two tablespoons buffalo sauce This adds flavor and helps achieve a glossy golden crust

Bake:

Place in a preheated oven at three hundred seventy five degrees Fahrenheit and cook for twenty four to twenty six minutes until tops are deeply golden and sides are set

Finish and Serve:

Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce Garnish with more green onion Serve warm with blue cheese or ranch for dipping and enjoy every cheesy spicy bite

Save

I have always loved the punchy flavor of buffalo sauce so watching my kids embrace the heat with cool ranch makes every batch a memory worth savoring. Each time I see steam rise from the first bomb cracked open it reminds me of lazy Sundays spent watching football with family crowded around the kitchen.

Storage Tips

Let the buffalo chicken bombs cool completely before storing Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days Reheat in the oven at three hundred degrees Fahrenheit for about ten minutes to maintain a crispy exterior Microwaving will work but the crust softens

Ingredient Substitutions

Use leftover roast chicken or turkey instead of rotisserie if that’s what you have on hand Swap the cheddar for Monterey Jack or pepper jack for extra zest Greek yogurt can stand in for some of the cream cheese for a lighter version If you need a milder option try barbecue sauce instead of buffalo

Serving Suggestions

Serve with celery sticks for a classic buffalo pairing Carrot sticks or a fresh green salad also rounds things out nicely For parties cut each bomb in half or quarters and offer a little dipping bar with multiple sauces like honey mustard or garlic aioli
