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 & Topping
- 1 (12-oz.) can Pillsbury biscuit dough
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp. ranch seasoning
- Cooking spray
For Serving (Optional)
- Ranch dressing
- Blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the chicken filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, mayonnaise, and kosher salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare biscuit dough: Flatten each biscuit round with your fingers until approximately 1/4 inch thick. This makes it easier to encase the filling securely.
- Fill and shape biscuit bombs: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit round. Sprinkle evenly with Monterey Jack cheese and optional blue cheese. Carefully gather edges of dough and pinch seams tightly to form a ball. Place the balls seam side down in the prepared pan, spacing them evenly.
- Prepare ranch butter and glaze dough: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with ranch seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the biscuit balls.
- Bake first phase: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the biscuits begin to turn golden brown.
- Glaze again and finish baking: Remove pan from oven and brush the biscuits again with the ranch butter mixture. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until biscuits are thoroughly toasted and golden brown on top.
- Serve: Transfer the biscuit bombs to a serving platter. Serve warm with ranch and blue cheese dressings on the side if desired.
Notes
- You can omit the blue cheese in the filling if you prefer a milder taste or have dairy sensitivities.
- Ensure the seams of the biscuit dough are sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- For a spicy kick, add extra buffalo sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
- These biscuit bombs are best served fresh but can be reheated in a 350°F oven for a few minutes to regain crispness.
- Use cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
