I love quick party snacks, and Buffalo Chicken Bombs are one of my top picks. I make them when friends come over because they are warm, cheesy, and easy to eat with your hands. If you like bold flavors, try my creamy buffalo chicken dip for a game-night table.

Your Ingredients List

1 lb shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package of crescent roll dough
Salt and pepper to taste
Buffalo sauce for dipping

My Go-To Equipment

I use a baking sheet, parchment paper, a mixing bowl, a spoon, and an oven set to 375°F. I like a small cookie scoop to portion the filling.

The Simple Steps to Follow

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Mix chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and cheddar in a bowl.
Roll out crescent dough and separate triangles.
Spoon filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
Roll each triangle up around the filling.
Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with extra buffalo sauce.

Healthy Twists on a Classic

I sometimes swap full-fat cream cheese for a light version and use whole-wheat crescent dough for more fiber. For a lower-salt option, reduce added salt and add fresh chopped herbs. If you prefer a different shape, try making mini pockets like my baked buffalo chicken taquitos for a crisp finish.

Serving Suggestions From My Table

I like to place Buffalo Chicken Bombs with celery sticks, carrot coins, and a small bowl of ranch. For a big spread, pair them with sliders or other finger foods like my spicy buffalo chicken sliders. They make a great party platter.

Getting It Just Right

I season the mix lightly with salt and pepper and taste before filling. Do not overfill the dough or they can leak. Watch the oven in the last minutes so they get golden but do not burn.

How to Store Leftovers

Let bombs cool, then place them in an airtight container. Keep in the fridge up to three days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes to keep the crust crisp.

Enjoy Every Moment

I love how simple recipes like this bring people together. Take a deep breath, roll with joy, and enjoy the warm bites.
