how to make Buffalo Chicken Bombs

Ingredients

• 3 cups Slow Cooker Pulled Buffalo Chicken (our recipe makes five cups – freeze the rest)
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• ¼ cup blue cheese dressing, plus more for serving
• 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese, plus more for serving
• ¼ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup Fontina cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup Gouda, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Franks RedHot Original Hot Sauce
• 2 packages refrigerated Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Biscuits (they come 8 per package)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

1. Prepare our recipe for Pulled Buffalo Chicken and measure out three cups. (Freeze the remaining two cups in an airtight zipper seal bag to be used in another recipe.)
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
3. In a medium saucepan, place the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Fontina cheese, Gouda, and Frank’s hot sauce.
4. Whisk over medium heat to melt everything together.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the Buffalo Chicken, then spread out on a sheet tray and place in the refrigerator to cool.
6. After cooling, divide the mixture into 16 portions using a rubber spatula to make a 4X4 pattern for equal portions.
7. Spray a 13×9-inch casserole dish with non-stick pan spray.
8. Open the biscuit packages and roll out each biscuit to a five-inch circle.
9. Place one portion of the Buffalo Chicken into the center of the flattened biscuit and pull up the back side to the front side, pinching closed. Then pinch the edges so it looks like a pierogi.
10. Turn each one over and place in the baking dish, seam side down. Line up six down the center and finish with five on each side.
11. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
12. As soon as the pan comes out of the oven, brush on the melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt.
13. Serve immediately with additional blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, and more Frank’s hot sauce.

how to serve Buffalo Chicken Bombs

Buffalo Chicken Bombs are best served warm. Place them on a platter with dips like blue cheese dressing and extra hot sauce on the side. They make a great appetizer or snack for gatherings, and everyone can enjoy them straight from the baking dish or individual plates.

how to store Buffalo Chicken Bombs

To store leftover Buffalo Chicken Bombs, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to three days. When you want to enjoy them again, simply reheat them in the oven until warm. For longer storage, you can freeze them before baking. Allow them to cool, then place them in a freezer-safe container and they can last for up to a month.

tips to make Buffalo Chicken Bombs

• For extra crunch, consider adding some panko breadcrumbs on top before baking.
• If you prefer mild flavors, reduce the amount of hot sauce or substitute it with a milder sauce.
• Make sure not to overfill the biscuits, or they may burst while baking.

variation

For a twist on the original recipe, try using shredded rotisserie chicken mixed with barbecue sauce instead of buffalo chicken. You can also swap out the cheeses for your favorites or add vegetables like diced peppers for extra flavor.
