Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs Recipe
Introduction
Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs are a deliciously spicy and cheesy twist on classic biscuits. Stuffed with creamy buffalo chicken filling and baked until golden, these bite-sized treats are perfect for parties or a flavorful snack.
Ingredients
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits, not flaky
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup (68 g) buffalo sauce
- 2 cups (280 g) rotisserie chicken, shredded
- ¼ cup (28 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup (28 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion
- 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce, divided
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion, for garnish
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and ¼ cup buffalo sauce until smooth and well combined. Add shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and green onion. Stir thoroughly to combine into a uniform filling.
- Step 2: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Step 3: Remove biscuits from the can and place them on a clean surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness.
- Step 4: Divide the buffalo chicken mixture evenly, placing about ¼ cup on each flattened biscuit. Pinch the edges together tightly to seal the filling inside.
- Step 5: Arrange the sealed biscuits seam-side down in the prepared skillet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce, reserving the rest for later.
- Step 6: Bake for 24 to 26 minutes or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Step 7: Remove from the oven and drizzle with the remaining buffalo sauce. Garnish with finely diced green onions.
- Step 8: Serve warm with extra buffalo sauce and your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful filling; leftover grilled chicken works well too.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
- Swap buffalo sauce for barbecue sauce for a different flavor profile.
- Try adding chopped celery to the filling for a crunchy texture contrast.
Storage
Store leftover biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to keep them crisp. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the biscuits soggy.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the biscuit bombs and keep them refrigerated for a few hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Can I use homemade biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?
Absolutely! Homemade biscuit dough works well and adds a fresh touch. Just flatten the dough similarly and proceed with the filling and baking instructions.

Ingredients
Biscuits
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits, not flaky
Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup (68 g) buffalo sauce
- 2 cups (280 g) rotisserie chicken, shredded
- ¼ cup (28 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup (28 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion
Topping & Garnish
- 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce, divided
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion, for garnish
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and ¼ cup buffalo sauce until well combined. Add shredded rotisserie chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion. Stir thoroughly to combine into a creamy, flavorful filling measuring about 2 ½ cups.
- Preheat the oven and prepare skillet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the biscuits: Remove the refrigerated biscuits from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness to allow for easy wrapping of the filling.
- Assemble the bombs: Divide the buffalo chicken mixture evenly, about ¼ cup per biscuit. Place the filling in the center of each flattened biscuit, then pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside completely. Place the sealed biscuit bombs seam-side down in the prepared skillet.
- Brush with buffalo sauce: Use about 2 tablespoons of the reserved buffalo sauce to brush the tops of each biscuit bomb evenly. Reserve the remaining buffalo sauce for drizzling after baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 24-26 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, drizzle the reserved buffalo sauce over the tops and garnish with finely diced green onions. Serve warm with extra buffalo sauce and your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Using room temperature cream cheese ensures a creamy and smooth filling.
- Shredded rotisserie chicken is a convenient, flavorful choice, but you can use cooked chicken breast or thighs as well.
- If you prefer more heat, add extra buffalo sauce to the filling or brush more on top before baking.
- The biscuit type should be the flaky refrigerated kind for best texture.
- Leftover biscuit bombs can be reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
- For a milder flavor, substitute buffalo sauce with a milder hot sauce or BBQ sauce.
