Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3/4 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce
- 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
Dough
- 1 (12-oz.) can Pillsbury biscuit dough
Topping
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp. ranch seasoning
- Cooking spray
Serving
- Ranch dressing (optional)
- Blue cheese dressing (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch round pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make chicken filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce, mayonnaise, and kosher salt. Mix well until evenly coated.
- Shape biscuit bombs: Flatten each biscuit dough round with your fingers until about 1/4-inch thick. Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of each biscuit. Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese and crumbled blue cheese (if using) over the chicken mixture inside the biscuit rounds. Gather the edges of the dough tightly around the filling, pinching seams together to seal and form balls. Place each ball seam-side down in the greased pan.
- Prepare ranch butter and brush: In a small bowl, mix melted unsalted butter with ranch seasoning. Brush this ranch butter generously over each biscuit ball to add flavor and promote golden browning.
- Bake partially then finish: Bake the biscuit bombs in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until they begin to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with remaining ranch butter again. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until biscuits are toasted and golden brown all over.
- Serve: Transfer the baked biscuit bombs to a serving platter. Optionally serve with ranch dressing and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the biscuit dough seams are pinched tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Blue cheese is optional but adds a classic tang that complements buffalo sauce well.
- Use fresh shredded chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken for best flavor.
- These bombs are best served warm and fresh from the oven.
- Ranch glazing twice during baking helps achieve a beautifully golden crust with added flavor.
