A hot fluffy biscuit filled with buffalo chicken and melty pepper jack cheese?!?! Am I dreaming?! This might be the greatest appetizer ever, or a dream come true dinner recipe. Your choice.
I’ve had snacks on the brain lately. I know it’s January and everything, and I’m supposed to be focused on healthy eating and whatever, but I’ve got crispy, cheesy snacks running through my mind non-stop. They’re all I crave.
Is this some sort of omen? Maybe more of a sickness.
Luckily that big football championship is upon us as well as March Madness right around the corner, so it’s socially acceptable to start talking about snacks once again. (see ya later holiday detox foods!)
The perfect snack food in my mind must contain cheese.
The perfect snack in The Hubs mind is (very) spicy.
These buffalo chicken biscuit bombs were my idea of meeting in the middle.
Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bombs
Epic and memorable recipes do not have to be complicated. These delicious nuggets of cheesy goodness were made simply with a can of refrigerated biscuit dough and a few pantry staples.
The Hubs loves buffalo chicken so much, and I am able to tolerate the spice level, so we’re never without a bottle of Frank’s Red Hot sauce in our fridge. To make super versatile buffalo chicken for use in dozens of recipes, simply salt and pepper any piece of chicken (breasts, wings, thighs, whatever) and roast at 375° for 35-45 minutes until the internal temp reaches 165°.
Melt butter and Red Hot sauce together (amounts vary depending on what you’re making) and mix it with cooked chicken.
That’s it.
Eat a chicken breast simply basted with buffalo sauce, make it into a sandwich, chop the chicken and pile it high on nachos, or combine it with ranch dressing and pepper jack cheese then stuff it into a biscuit.
The possibilities are endless.
Perhaps my snack dreams are a result of me ACTUALLY eating pretty clean the last few weeks. The Hubs and I cut ourselves some slack on the weekends which generally means splitting a bag of tortilla chips and a pint of ice cream, but this particular weekend we enjoyed a big batch of buffalo chicken biscuit bombs instead.
Total crowd (errrr, 2 person) pleaser!
If you need an indulgent meal, or are looking to impress your friends at your next game day party, pick up a tube of biscuit dough and bake up a batch of these buffalo chicken biscuit bombs. The ultimate craving satisfier if I do say so myself.
Bonus tip! Oh honey, don’t stop at just buffalo chicken. You can stuff ANYTHING inside of a biscuit. Pulled pork? Yup. Taco meat. Definitely. Even veggies if you’re so inclined. Get creative!
I want to see your version of a biscuit bomb! Get to stuffing some biscuits then post a pic on social media and tag me @betsylife I will definitely be sharing (and recreating!) my favorites

Is that ranch dressing in a bottle or dry ranch in package.
