Ingredients
Scale

- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (226 g) cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup (118 ml) buffalo sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) butter, unsalted and melted
- ½ tsp parsley, dried (optional)
- 1 can (8 oz/226 g) crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing
- Celery sticks
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease to prevent sticking.
- Filling Creation: Combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning into a unified, fiery mixture that promises bold flavor in each bite.
- Dough Transformation: Carefully unfold biscuit or crescent roll dough, gently stretching each piece to create a smooth, malleable base for the spicy chicken filling.
- Bomb Assembly: Place a hearty scoop of the seasoned chicken mixture in the center of each dough section, meticulously folding and sealing edges to create compact, leak-proof parcels that will lock in maximum flavor.
- Pre-Bake Finishing: Arrange the formed chicken bombs on the prepared sheet, lavishly brushing with melted butter to guarantee a crisp, golden exterior that will tantalize the taste buds.
- Baking Process: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown transformation that signals perfectly cooked dough and heated filling.
- Final Touches: Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately with complementary dipping sauces like additional buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for an epic flavor experience.
Notes
- Choose Quality Chicken: Select freshly cooked, tender shredded chicken for maximum flavor and smooth texture in your filling.
- Control Spice Levels: Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to match personal heat preferences, ensuring everyone can enjoy the dish comfortably.
- Seal Edges Carefully: Press dough edges firmly and thoroughly to prevent cheese and filling from leaking during baking, maintaining perfect bomb structure.
- Check Dough Thickness: Flatten biscuit or crescent roll dough evenly to guarantee consistent cooking and prevent undercooked or overly crispy sections.
