Main Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 3/4 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce
- 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 (12-oz.) can Pillsbury biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp. ranch seasoning
- Ranch dressing, for serving (optional)
- Blue cheese dressing, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Mix Chicken Filling: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch round pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce, mayonnaise, and kosher salt. Mix thoroughly to create the chicken filling.
- Form Biscuit Bombs: Flatten each biscuit dough round to about 1/4 inch thickness using your fingers. Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the buffalo chicken mixture onto the center of each flattened biscuit. Evenly divide the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and blue cheese (if using) over the chicken mixture. Carefully gather the edges of the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching the seams tightly to form a sealed ball. Place each ball seam-side down in the prepared pan.
- Brush with Ranch Butter: In a small bowl, blend the melted unsalted butter with ranch seasoning. Using a brush, evenly coat the tops of the biscuit bombs with this ranch butter mixture.
- Bake the Biscuit Bombs: Bake the biscuit bombs in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they start to turn a golden brown color. Remove from oven and brush the tops again with the ranch butter. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the biscuits are fully toasted and golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer the baked biscuit bombs to a serving platter. Serve warm with ranch dressing and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- You can omit the blue cheese in the biscuits and for dipping if you prefer a milder flavor.
- For extra crispiness, place the biscuit bombs on a wire rack set over a baking sheet during baking.
- If you like it spicier, add more buffalo sauce to the chicken mixture.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
