Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust based on spice preference)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
Dough
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (16 oz)
Additional
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mozzarella cheese, crumbled bacon, cream cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly integrated into a creamy, spicy filling.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a round disc approximately 4 inches in diameter using your fingers or a rolling pin.
- Fill the Biscuits: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit, taking care not to overfill to avoid leakage during baking.
- Form Bombs: Fold the edges of each biscuit over the filling to create a ball shape. Pinch and seal all edges tightly to ensure the filling is fully enclosed with no openings.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each filled biscuit ball seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all filling is used and bombs are assembled.
- Prepare for Baking: Lightly spray the tops of the bombs with non-stick cooking spray to achieve a golden, crispy finish. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra garlic powder on top for added flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and thoroughly cooked through.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of freshness and color.
Notes
- You can adjust the buffalo sauce quantity to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Ensure the biscuit dough seams are well sealed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- For a milder version, substitute buffalo sauce with barbecue sauce or less spicy wing sauce.
- These bombs can be prepared ahead and baked when ready, making them perfect for parties.
