Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 3/4 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce
- 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
Biscuit Bombs
- 1 (12-oz.) can Pillsbury biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
Ranch Butter
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp. ranch seasoning
For Serving (Optional)
- Ranch dressing
- Blue cheese dressing
Other
- Cooking spray
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 and for easy cleanup.
- Mix Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce, mayonnaise, and kosher salt. Stir until well mixed to create a spicy, creamy filling.
- Shape Biscuit Bombs: Flatten each biscuit round with your fingers to about 1/4-inch thickness. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Top with Monterey Jack cheese and optional blue cheese. Pull the edges of the biscuit dough up and pinch tightly to seal the filling inside, forming a ball. Place each ball seam side down in the prepared pan.
- Prepare Ranch Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter with ranch seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over each biscuit bomb to add flavor and help them brown nicely.
- Bake Initial Stage: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs just begin to turn golden brown around the edges.
- Brush and Continue Baking: Remove the pan briefly from the oven and brush the biscuit bombs again with the ranch butter mixture. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the biscuits are toasted and fully golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer the biscuit bombs to a platter. Serve warm with ranch dressing and blue cheese dressing on the side, if desired, for dipping and extra flavor.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, make sure to seal the biscuit seams tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
- For a spicier version, add extra buffalo sauce to the chicken mixture.
- These biscuit bombs can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving; refrigerate after shaping and brush with ranch butter before baking.
- Substitute the blue cheese with extra Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese if preferred.
- Serve immediately for best texture, as biscuit bombs may become less crisp upon standing.
