WANT TO SAVE THIS RECIPE?

Buffalo Chicken Bombs are the spicy, cheesy, crowd-pleasing snack you didn’t know you needed. Each bite is loaded with shredded chicken tossed in tangy buffalo sauce, creamy cheese, and wrapped in soft biscuit dough – then baked to golden, gooey perfection.

Perfect for game day, parties, or a bold snack craving, these bombs are easy to prep ahead and disappear fast. The flavor punch of buffalo sauce meets melty mozzarella in a hand-held, fuss-free form that’s impossible to resist.

What Kind of Dough Works Best for Buffalo Chicken Bombs?

For the ultimate convenience and fluffiness, refrigerated biscuit dough is your best bet. But if you’re feeling a bit extra, pizza dough or crescent roll dough work great too, especially for a flakier or chewier bite. Whichever you choose, make sure it’s easy to seal around the filling.

How To Make the Buffalo Chicken Bombs

Step 1: Mix the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and mozzarella cheese until evenly coated.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Open the biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle. Place a generous spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Step 3: Seal the Bombs

Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching tightly to seal. Place the sealed side down on a lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake to Golden

Brush each bomb with melted butter and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
