Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Filling

• Start by preparing our recipe for Slow Cooker Pulled Buffalo Chicken and measure out 3 cups. (Store the remaining 2 cups in an airtight freezer bag for future recipes.)

2. Make the Cheesy Buffalo Mixture

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, Monterey Jack, Fontina, Gouda, and Frank’s RedHot Original Hot Sauce.
• Whisk until everything melts and blends into a smooth, creamy mixture.
• Stir in the pulled buffalo chicken and mix well. Spread the mixture on a sheet tray and refrigerate to cool for about 20 minutes.

3. Divide the Filling

• Once cooled, divide the mixture into 16 equal portions. Use a spatula to create a grid pattern (4×4) on the sheet tray for even portions.

Assembling the Buffalo Chicken Bombs

4. Prepare the Biscuits

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 13×9-inch casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• Open the biscuit packages and roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle. You can roll them one at a time as you fill or prepare all at once.

5. Fill and Seal the Bombs

• Place a portion of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each rolled-out biscuit.
• Pull up the back side of the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Fold the left and right sides to the center and pinch again, creating a pouch.
• Turn each bomb seam-side down and place it in the casserole dish. Arrange six bombs down the center and five on each side.

Baking the Bombs

6. Bake Until Golden

• Brush the tops of the bombs with melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is hot.

Making the Creamy Blue Cheese Dip

7. Whisk the Ingredients

• In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese crumbles, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

8. Serve with the Bombs

• Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional blue cheese crumbles if desired.

Serving Suggestions

Buffalo Chicken Bombs are best served hot with the creamy blue cheese dip on the side. Here are some ideas to round out your meal:

• Vegetable Sticks: Carrot and celery sticks are perfect for dipping.
• Fresh Salad: A simple green salad with ranch or blue cheese dressing complements the spicy flavors.
• Crispy Fries: Serve with seasoned fries for a fun and indulgent appetizer spread.

Tips for Perfect Buffalo Chicken Bombs

• Cool the Filling: Ensure the filling is cooled before assembling the bombs to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
• Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• Experiment with Cheeses: Swap out the cheeses for your favorites, like sharp cheddar or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
• Don’t Skip the Butter: Brushing the tops with butter adds a golden, crispy finish.

FAQs About Buffalo Chicken Bombs with Creamy Blue Cheese Dip

1. Can I make these bombs ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the bombs and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.

2. Can I freeze the bombs?

Absolutely. Freeze the unbaked bombs on a sheet tray until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

3. Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of pulled buffalo chicken?

Yes, shred rotisserie chicken and mix it with buffalo sauce as a quick substitute.

4. Can I use crescent roll dough instead of biscuits?

Yes, crescent roll dough works well, but the texture will be lighter and flakier.

5. What’s a substitute for blue cheese?

If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, ranch dressing and shredded mozzarella make a great alternative.

6. How do I reheat leftovers?

Reheat the bombs in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes to maintain their crispy texture.
