I just made a batch of Buffalo Chicken Bombs Recipe and let me tell you, I couldn’t wait to share the recipe with you. These little golden-brown pockets stuffed with spicy, cheesy chicken are pure comfort food perfect for a cozy weekend, game night, or any time you crave something delicious and easy.

As soon as I pulled them out of the oven, the buttery aroma and hint of buffalo heat filled the kitchen. One bite and I was hooked on gooey mozzarella, warm biscuit crust, and that tangy buffalo kick all in one.

If you love bold, flavorful snacks or appetizers, this recipe will definitely become a favorite for you. You can also enjoy similar bold flavors in Pepper Steak with Bell Peppers and Onion or lighter, fresher options like Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken — pre-cooked chicken makes things easy and ensures tender bites.
• 1/4 cup buffalo sauce — for that signature spicy, tangy buffalo flavor.
• 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese — melts beautifully inside, creating that ooey-gooey center.
• 1 (8-count) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits — the soft biscuit dough wraps the filling and bakes into a golden crust.
• 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted — brushed on the bombs after baking to add richness and shine.
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley — adds a touch of freshness and color.
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder — boosts the savory flavor of the buttery finish.
• 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing — perfect for dipping and balancing the heat.

Note: makes 8 servings (8 bombs).

Variations

Here are some fun ways to change up the recipe depending on your tastes and dietary needs:

• Swap mozzarella with cheddar or pepper jack for sharper, richer flavor.
• Use a mild buffalo sauce or reduce the amount for a less spicy version.
• Choose plant-based cheese and dairy-free butter for a dairy-free option.
• Add cooked bacon bits or chopped jalapeños to the filling for extra flavor or heat.
• Replace biscuit dough with pizza dough or gluten-free dough if preferred.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Bombs

Short steps ahead to guide you smoothly.

Prep the Filling

Shred the cooked chicken and place it in a bowl. Add the buffalo sauce and mozzarella cheese. Mix everything together until all pieces are coated and the filling looks evenly combined.

Flatten the Biscuits

Open your biscuit can and place each piece on a clean surface. Flatten each one with a rolling pin or your hands until it becomes thin and slightly larger in diameter. This gives room for the filling.

Fill and Seal the Bombs

Scoop a portion of the chicken mixture onto the center of each flattened biscuit. Bring the edges together, pinch tightly, and seal the dough completely. Place each bomb seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the bombs into a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Bake for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up beautifully on top.

Add Finishing Touch

Mix melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder together. As soon as the bombs come out of the oven, brush this buttery mixture on top for extra shine and flavor.

Additional Tips for Making This Recipe Better

These little tricks helped me get the best results:

• I always drain any excess liquid from the chicken so the filling stays thick and never soggy.
• I prefer flattening the biscuits slightly thinner for a better filling-to-dough ratio.
• I take my time sealing the edges really well to avoid the filling leaking out.
• I love serving them with extra dipping sauce for more creaminess and flavor contrast.

How to Serve Buffalo Chicken Bombs

Serve them warm on a platter or wooden board for a rustic, cozy look. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley over the top to brighten the presentation. Pair them with small bowls of ranch or blue cheese dressing, along with celery or carrot sticks to offer a crunchy, cooling contrast.

Make Ahead and Storage

You can assemble the bombs ahead of time and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. This makes prep easier for parties or busy nights.

If freezing, freeze the unbaked bombs on a tray first, then store them in airtight freezer bags. Bake directly from frozen and add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Store baked leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crispy.
