These Easy Buffalo Chicken Bombs are quick, spicy, cheesy pockets made with shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and biscuit dough. Perfect for game day, parties, or a weeknight treat, they bake in about 25 minutes and disappear fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (preferably Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar recommended)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count, e.g., Pillsbury Grands)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce (for topping)
  • Optional: Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Shred the chicken: If using rotisserie chicken, remove skin and bones, then shred with two forks. If cooking from scratch, poach two boneless, skinless chicken breasts in boiling water for 12-15 minutes, then shred. Let cool slightly.
  3. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar, blue cheese (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Prepare the biscuit dough: Open the can and separate 8 biscuits. Flatten each into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
  5. Fill the bombs: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit.
  6. Seal the bombs: Gather the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  7. Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce. Brush over the tops of each bomb.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and filling is bubbling. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

Don’t skip softening the cream cheese for a smooth filling. Seal the bombs well to prevent leaking. For extra crispy tops, sprinkle flaky sea salt after baking. Can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
