A Little Backstory and Cultural Context

Buffalo chicken is a classic American flavor, hailing from the original buffalo wings created in Buffalo, New York. This spicy, tangy sauce has become a staple for many game day recipes. Combining this popular flavor with creamy cheese and a touch of garlic wrapped inside a soft biscuit makes this recipe a guaranteed hit. Buffalo Chicken Garlic Bombs are a perfect fusion of comfort food and bold flavors, creating a snack that's truly hard to resist.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Make the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until the ingredients are evenly blended and creamy.

3. Prepare the Biscuits:
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a circle, roughly 4 inches in diameter.

4. Fill the Biscuits:
Spoon a generous portion of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold the edges over the filling and pinch them together to form a sealed ball.

5. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Place each filled biscuit seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter to ensure a golden, buttery finish.

6. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.

7. Serve:
Remove the Buffalo Chicken Garlic Bombs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color before serving.

Cooking Tips and Variations:

• Spice it Up: If you love extra heat, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture or use a hotter buffalo sauce.
• Cheese Lovers: Feel free to mix in different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a unique twist.
• Make it Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free biscuit dough and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free to cater to dietary needs.

Suggested Pairings:

These Buffalo Chicken Garlic Bombs are perfect alongside a creamy ranch or blue cheese dip to balance the spice. Pair them with a cold beer or a refreshing iced tea for the ultimate game day spread!
