Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Mix cooked, shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and shredded cheese until well combined. The filling should be creamy, not runny.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Separate biscuit dough or flatten dough portions slightly. This gives enough space to wrap the filling securely.

Step 3: Stuff and Seal

Place a spoonful of buffalo chicken filling in the center of each dough piece. Wrap the dough around the filling and pinch tightly to seal.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Place the sealed bombs seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Bake until puffed and deeply golden.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Brush with melted butter if desired. Serve warm with dipping sauces on the side.
