Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (or more to taste)
  • 1–2 tablespoons ranch dressing (optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing (optional)
  • 6–8 slices beef bacon
  • Fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine)
  • Canned refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3-ounce can)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Ranch dressing (for serving)
  • Extra buffalo sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. First things first, make sure your chicken is cooked and shredded. If you're using a rotisserie chicken, simply pull the meat off and shred it with two forks. If you're cooking chicken breasts or thighs, boil or bake them until cooked through, then shred.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine your shredded chicken with your chosen buffalo sauce. Start with about ½ cup of sauce for 2 cups of chicken and add more if you want it extra saucy or spicy. If you're adding ranch or blue cheese dressing for creaminess, mix that in now too. Toss everything until the chicken is well coated.
  3. Next, cook your beef bacon until it's wonderfully crispy. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat until it's nice and brittle. Once cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat. Once cooled slightly, crumble it into small pieces.
  4. Open your can of refrigerated biscuit dough. Separate each biscuit. On a lightly floured surface, gently flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin into a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter.
  5. Drain your fresh mozzarella balls if they came in water. If you're using larger mozzarella, cut it into ½-inch cubes. Set aside.
  6. Take one flattened biscuit. In the center of each biscuit, place a generous tablespoon of your buffalo chicken mixture.
  7. On top of the chicken, place 1-2 pieces of your fresh mozzarella.
  8. Sprinkle about ½ to 1 teaspoon of crumbled crispy beef bacon over the cheese.
  9. Carefully gather the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching them firmly together at the top to seal completely. Turn the bomb seam-side down and gently shape it into a neat ball.
  10. Repeat this process with all the remaining biscuits and filling.
  11. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  12. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a 12-cup bundt pan. Arrange the bombs snugly in a single layer.
  13. In a small bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir in ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
  14. Brush or gently pour the melted garlic butter evenly over the tops of your assembled bombs.
  15. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is wonderfully melted and gooey.
  16. Once baked, remove from the oven. Let them cool for just 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with small bowls of extra buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Nutrition

Keywords: Don't overfill the bombs for easy sealing. Ensure the beef bacon is cooked until crispy for the best texture. You can adjust the spice level by using different buffalo sauces. Serve warm for the best experience.
