Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 containers (10 biscuits per pack) refrigerator biscuits
- 1 cup shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce
- 4 oz (113 grams) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (56 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons diced jalapeño peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Garlic Butter Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the filling by combining shredded chicken, ranch dressing, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, buffalo sauce, and jalapeños in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed and create a uniform mixture.
- Preheat the cooking appliance to 350°F. Dust a clean surface with flour and gently stretch each biscuit dough into 4-5 inch circular shapes using a rolling pin or hand technique.
- Carefully place 1.5-2 tablespoons of buffalo chicken filling in the center of each biscuit round. Gather the edges, pinch them closed, and roll between palms to create a sealed spherical shape, ensuring no filling can escape.
- Arrange the chicken bombs seam-side down in a greased cast-iron skillet or baking dish. Create a garlic butter glaze by mixing melted butter, garlic powder, parmesan, and parsley. Generously brush the glaze over each biscuit bomb.
- For oven or smoker method, bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until tops turn golden brown. If using an air fryer, cook for 5-6 minutes at 350°F, ensuring the bombs are thoroughly heated and crispy.
- Remove from heat and garnish with additional parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by ranch, blue cheese dressing, or extra buffalo sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Select tender, pre-cooked chicken like rotisserie for maximum flavor and easy shredding without extra cooking time.
- Adjust buffalo sauce intensity by choosing mild, medium, or hot varieties to match personal spice tolerance.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat cheeses for a lighter version without compromising taste.
- Create gluten-free alternative by substituting biscuits with gluten-free dough or using large lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
- Prep Time: About 5 hours (including preparation of pulled chicken)
