Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups shredded Buffalo chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing, plus more for serving
- 2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese, plus more for serving
- 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Fontina cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Gouda
- 1 tbsp Frank’s RedHot Original Hot Sauce
- 2 packages Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Biscuits (8 biscuits each)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare 3 cups of shredded Buffalo chicken using a slow cooker or mix cooked chicken with Frank’s RedHot sauce and seasonings.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, Monterey Jack, Fontina, Gouda, and hot sauce. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Fold the chicken into the cheese mixture, spread it on a tray, and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle. Place a portion of filling in the center, fold the dough over, pinch the seams, and shape into a ball.
- Place the bombs seam-side down in the baking dish in rows (6 center, 5 on each side).
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve with blue cheese dressing and additional hot sauce if desired.
Notes
- Cool the filling before assembly to prevent soggy dough.
- Use ranch dressing instead of blue cheese if preferred.
- Freeze leftover bombs and reheat in the oven for best results.
- Rotisserie chicken works well as a shortcut.
