Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

cooking spray
3/4 cup shredded cooked chicken
1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot buffalo wing sauce
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 (12‑oz.) can Pillsbury biscuit dough
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp. ranch seasoning
ranch dressing and blue cheese dressing, for serving (optional)

Directions

Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease an 8‑inch round pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mayonnaise, and salt.
Flatten each biscuit round with your fingers to about 1/4‑inch thickness. Spoon a tablespoon‑sized scoop of the chicken mixture into each round, then top with some Monterey Jack and blue cheese (if using). Gather the dough around the filling and pinch seams tightly to form a ball. Place the balls seam side down in the prepared pan.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and ranch seasoning. Brush the mixture over the dough balls.
Bake until the biscuits just begin to turn golden, about 10–12 minutes. Brush with ranch butter again and continue baking until toasted and golden, about 5 minutes more.
Transfer to a platter and serve with ranch and blue cheese dressings alongside, if desired.

Cream cheese twist: Fold in a bit of softened cream cheese with the buffalo chicken for added creaminess.
