Instructions
- Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pulled buffalo chicken, cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, Monterey Jack, Fontina, Gouda, and Franks RedHot sauce.

- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Open the biscuit packages and separate the dough into 16 pieces.
- Flatten each biscuit into a ¼-inch-thick circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Fill and Seal the Bombs:
- Place 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Pull the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching to seal tightly.
- Place each bomb seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Finishing Touches:
- Brush the tops of the bombs with melted butter.
- Sprinkle evenly with kosher salt for added flavor.
- Bake:
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve:
- Arrange the Buffalo Chicken Bombs on a platter.
- Serve warm with extra blue cheese dressing, ranch, or additional hot sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the bombs and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Freezing Instructions: To freeze, assemble the bombs, then freeze them unbaked on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Cheese Substitutions: Feel free to substitute your favorite cheeses, like cheddar or mozzarella, for a personal twist.
