Why You’ll Love This Easy Buffalo Chicken Bombs Recipe

These bombs are quick to prep, versatile with ingredients, and easy to customize based on your spice level. They come out of the oven bubbling with melted cheese and zesty sauce, giving you all the bold flavor of buffalo wings without the mess.

They also freeze well and reheat beautifully, so they’re great for meal prep or make-ahead party snacks. Plus, each bite is the perfect balance of heat, creaminess, and crunch.

What Kind of Dough Should I Use?

Refrigerated canned biscuit dough is the easiest option and holds up perfectly when stuffed. Look for jumbo-sized biscuits so you have plenty of room to seal in the filling. You can also use crescent roll dough or even pizza dough if you prefer a different texture, but biscuits give the best “bomb” effect—light, fluffy, and golden outside, gooey inside.

Ingredients for the Easy Buffalo Chicken Bombs

Using simple ingredients you likely already have on hand, these bombs come together fast. The key is getting that perfect creamy filling and sealing them well so they puff up beautifully.

• Shredded Chicken: This is the protein base of your bombs. Rotisserie chicken works great and saves time.
• Buffalo Sauce: Adds that essential spicy-tangy kick. Choose your favorite brand and heat level.
• Cream Cheese: Helps mellow the spice and brings a creamy texture to the filling.
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese: For that melty, gooey element everyone loves.
• Green Onions: Add freshness and a mild bite to balance the rich flavors.
• Canned Biscuit Dough: These become your golden outer layer. Jumbo biscuits are best.
• Butter: Brushed on top for extra richness and to help them brown.
• Garlic Powder: Mixed with butter to infuse the topping with flavor.

How To Make the Easy Buffalo Chicken Bombs

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 2: Prep the Dough

Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Flatten each one slightly with your hands or a rolling pin. You want them big enough to hold a heaping spoonful of filling.

Step 3: Fill and Seal

Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each biscuit round. Carefully fold the edges up and pinch them tightly to seal. Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Butter Topping

In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in garlic powder. Brush each biscuit bomb with the garlic butter mixture for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 5: Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the bombs cool slightly before serving. They’ll be hot and gooey inside—perfect for dipping in ranch or blue cheese dressing.

How to Serve and Store Easy Buffalo Chicken Bombs

These bombs make a hearty appetizer, a bold lunch, or a savory game-day treat. Serve them warm, with dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese, or even extra buffalo sauce on the side. Each batch makes 8 bombs, so it feeds around 4 people as a main snack or 6-8 as an appetizer.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore that crispy outside. They also freeze well—just thaw before reheating.
