Ingredients for buffalo chicken bites spread out on a countertop.

Chicken- You’ll want pre-c-cooked shredded chicken for this recipe. Use a rotisserie chicken, canned chicken, or our air fryer whole chicken.

Sauce ingredients– Use your favorite brand of wing sauce. We like Frank’s. Along with this, you will need some shredded cheddar, sour cream, and cream cheese.

Biscuit– We use a single can of refrigerated biscuit dough for 16 of these buffalo chicken bites.

Grand’s Flaky Layers work best in this recipe as the biscuits are larger than most and are easier to stuff. They also peel apart nicely, making it easier to get 2 biscuits out of one.

Butter Sauce – We’ll brush the outside of the biscuit dough with a combo of melted butter and ranch seasoning.

Dipping sauces – Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing are perfect for serving. Heck, serve with both if you want.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Bombs:

Collage of four steps of cooking buffalo chicken bites.
  • Prep the chicken– Get a mixing bowl and stir together your chicken, wing sauce, cheddar, sour cream, and cream cheese.
  • Fill the bites– Open your can of biscuits and separate them to get 16 thin pieces of biscuit dough. Place a spoonful of the chicken into each biscuit and fold the edges around to seal in the chicken. Now you roll it into a ball in your hands.
  • Butter the bites– Place your biscuit bites in an air fryer with space between them for air flow. Stir together melted butter and ranch seasoning and brush this over the top of your biscuits in the air fryer. Air fry for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Reheat these Buffalo Chicken Bombs in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes.

What should I serve with buffalo chicken bites?

Karly’s Tips!

You’ll likely need to work in batches unless you have a huge air fryer. Keep in mind that the second batch will cook a bit faster than the first as the air fryer will be hot.

To make these extra spicy, use a hot wing sauce. You can also stir in some cayenne pepper.

Canned chicken works well in a pinch, but it is a bit salty and so is the wing sauce. Look for a low sodium canned chicken for the best results.

  • 1/3 cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 8 count
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ranch seasoning
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

Instructions
 

  • Add the chicken, wing sauce, cheddar, cream cheese, and sour cream to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
  • Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit in half to form 16 thin pieces of biscuit dough.
  • Drop a spoonful of the chicken mixture into the center of each biscuit and fold up the edges around the chicken, sealing the edges and rolling into a ball.
  • Place the biscuit bites into an air fryer basket leaving space for air to flow between each one.

  • Air fry at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

We prefer to use our air fryer whole chicken or rotisserie chicken in this recipe. If you do use canned chicken, the end result may be a bit salty. Look for a low-sodium canned chicken.
You’ll likely need to work in batches. The second batch will cook a bit faster than the first as the air fryer will be hot.
