Equipment
- Mixing bowl

- Knife & spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit or pizza dough
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
- Optional: ranch or blue cheese dip for serving
- Optional: diced jalapeños for extra spice
Instructions
- Prepare filling: Mix shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and cheese in a bowl.
- Stuff dough: Flatten dough rounds. Place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold edges, and seal tightly to form a ball.
- Bake or air fry: Place bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush with melted butter. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until golden, or air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes.

Notes
- Ranch or blue cheese filling: Adds creamy balance to the spice.
- Spicy twist: Add jalapeños or extra hot sauce.
- Vegetarian option: Use roasted cauliflower instead of chicken.
- Air fryer method: Delivers crispiness with less oil.
- Tip: Seal edges tightly before baking to prevent filling leaks.
