These bombs have all the classic buffalo flavor in a fun, bite-sized package wrapped in warm biscuit dough. It’s everything you love about spicy chicken dip but baked into a perfectly golden pocket.
You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or cook and shred your own. With a quick mix of hot sauce, ranch seasoning, cream cheese, and cheddar, you’ve got the filling ready in minutes. Wrap it all up in biscuit dough, pop it in a muffin tin, and bake until golden. Brushed with a little butter and extra hot sauce if you like it spicy, these are hard to stop eating once they hit the table.

• Mix a little more hot sauce into the butter if you want extra kick on top
