How to Make Buffalo Chicken Bombs
Making Buffalo Chicken Bombs is incredibly easy and can be done in a few simple steps. Perfect for a busy weeknight or for prepping ahead of time, this recipe will have you enjoying these cheesy, spicy bombs in no time!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling
Start by shredding your rotisserie chicken. You can use pre-cooked chicken to save time. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce and mozzarella cheese. Stir everything together until the chicken is well-coated in the sauce and the cheese is evenly distributed. - Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Open the can of refrigerated buttermilk biscuits. On a clean surface, flatten each biscuit into a small round shape. You can do this with your fingers or a rolling pin—just make sure the dough is large enough to hold the filling. - Stuff the Bombs
Spoon a generous amount of the Buffalo chicken filling onto each flattened biscuit. Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling to create a ball shape, making sure the filling is completely sealed inside. - Bake
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed biscuit bombs on a greased baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart. Brush each bomb with the melted butter and sprinkle with a little garlic powder for added flavor. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through. - Garnish and Serve
Once the Buffalo Chicken Bombs are out of the oven, garnish them with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce—either blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing works perfectly for dipping.
Customizing Your Buffalo Chicken Bombs
One of the best parts about this recipe is that you can customize it to suit your tastes! Here are some easy variations you can try:
1. Add Veggies for Extra Crunch
If you want to add a bit of texture and freshness to the bombs, consider adding finely chopped celery or green onions to the chicken mixture. The crunch from the celery will give the bombs a nice contrast to the creamy, cheesy filling.
2. Spicy Twist
If you love extra heat, you can add some chopped jalapeños or use a spicier Buffalo sauce. This will give the bombs a fiery kick that spice lovers will appreciate.
3. Cheese Variety
Swap out the mozzarella cheese for another melty cheese like cheddar, pepper jack, or a combination of both. Each cheese will bring a different flavor profile, so feel free to experiment!
4. Make it Gluten-Free
For those who are gluten-sensitive, you can use gluten-free biscuits or even make your own gluten-free dough. This allows everyone to enjoy the flavor-packed Buffalo Chicken Bombs without worrying about gluten.

Though a small amount, the fresh parsley used to garnish the bombs adds a burst of freshness along with a good dose of vitamins A, C, and K. These vitamins support immune health, bone health, and skin health.
- Health Benefit: Vitamins A and C act as antioxidants, promoting healthy skin and supporting the immune system, while vitamin K is important for bone health.
4. Healthy Fats from Butter
The melted butter brushed on top of the biscuits adds flavor and richness, along with some healthy fats that are important for brain function and overall well-being. While it’s important to use fats in moderation, the small amount here is enough to provide that comforting, delicious taste.
- Health Benefit: Healthy fats contribute to heart health and help the body absorb essential vitamins like A, D, E, and K.

For a more balanced meal, serve your Buffalo Chicken Bombs with a light side salad. A simple mix of greens, tomatoes, and a tangy vinaigrette would add some freshness and crunch to your meal.
