Description

Buffalo Chicken Bombs are spicy, cheesy, bite-sized snacks featuring tender shredded chicken tossed in tangy buffalo sauce, combined with cream cheese, cheddar, and green onions, all wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for game day, parties, or casual treats, these bombs deliver bold buffalo flavor with a melty, crispy finish and customizable heat levels.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2–3 green onions, chopped

Dough & Topping

  • 1 can Pillsbury crescent roll dough or equivalent puff pastry
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and chopped green onions. Mix well until the mixture is creamy and evenly blended for a flavorful filling.
  2. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure the crescent dough bakes to a golden-brown crisp while the filling gets warm and gooey.
  3. Assemble the Bombs: Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and separate into individual triangles. Place approximately two tablespoons of buffalo chicken filling on the wider end of each triangle, then carefully roll the dough around the filling, sealing edges tightly to prevent leaks.
  4. Add Garlic Butter Topping: Brush each wrapped bomb with melted butter mixed with garlic powder to enhance browning and add savory flavor to the crust.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Delicious: Arrange the bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is puffed, golden, and the filling is bubbly and hot. Serve warm for the best gooey texture.

Notes

  • Use shredded chicken for a tender, consistent filling that holds the buffalo sauce well.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Pinch and seal dough edges firmly to maintain shape and retain filling.
  • Brush bombs with butter for a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Serve fresh out of the oven for the best melty cheese experience.
