Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands! Homestyle or Buttermilk)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot Original)
- 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie recommended)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or ranch dressing for topping
- Optional: chopped chives or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a fork until smooth. Add the Buffalo wing sauce and stir until fully combined. Fold in the shredded chicken and cheddar cheese until evenly coated.
- Open the can of biscuits and separate into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into thirds. Press each piece into a mini muffin cup, pushing the dough up the sides to form a cup.
- Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the buffalo chicken mixture into each dough cup.
- Melt the butter and lightly brush the exposed edges of the biscuit dough with it.
- Bake on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Use a small spoon or butter knife to gently lift the bites out of the tin and transfer to a cooling rack or serving platter.
- Optional: While still warm, drizzle with ranch dressing or sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese and chopped chives or green onions.
Notes
Don’t overfill the dough cups—use one heaping tablespoon per cup. Use room-temperature cream cheese for even mixing. Watch the oven closely during the last 3 minutes to prevent burning. Transfer bites to a cooling rack within 3-5 minutes of baking to keep bottoms crisp.
