Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken (breast or rotisserie)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Dough & Topping

  • 1 sheet puff pastry or 1 package crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy, evenly coated, and bursting with buffalo flavor.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and lay out the puff pastry sheet or crescent roll dough. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles large enough to hold a generous spoonful of filling (about 3×3 inches or suitable size for your dough).
  3. Fill and Seal: Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken filling in the center of each dough piece. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal completely, ensuring no filling leaks during baking.
  4. Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, coat the top of each sealed bomb with melted butter to encourage browning and add rich flavor.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the bombs to make sealing easier and prevent leaks.
  • Use chilled dough to maintain shape and achieve flakier crust.
  • Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling to prevent dough softening.
  • For a shinier crust, brush bombs with beaten egg instead of butter.
  • Serve with ranch or blue cheese dips to complement the buffalo flavor.
  • Customize spice level by adjusting buffalo sauce quantity.
  • Substitute cream cheese with blue cheese for a tangy twist.
  • Make vegetarian by replacing chicken with shredded cauliflower or jackfruit.
  • Use gluten-free pastry or dough options for gluten-sensitive diets.
