Description
Buffalo Chicken Bacon Loaded Mozzarella Bombs are the ultimate party appetizer — crispy on the outside, gooey and spicy on the inside. Each bite is packed with shredded buffalo chicken, melted mozzarella, and smoky bacon wrapped in golden biscuit dough for a bold, cheesy explosion of flavor.
Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cooked crumbled bacon
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
- For the Dough:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 cubes
- For Brushing:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, bacon, and green onions until well combined.
- Separate biscuit dough pieces and flatten each into a small circle about 3–4 inches wide.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the buffalo chicken mixture and 1 cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal tightly. Roll into a smooth ball.
- Place the sealed side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush over each dough ball.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling.
- Use canned pizza dough or crescent roll dough if biscuit dough isn’t available.
- These bombs can be air-fried at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes for a crispier texture.
- Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
