Spicy buffalo chicken and melted mozzarella tucked in golden dough for easy, shareable game-day bites.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

02 - 1/3 cup Buffalo wing sauce

03 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

04 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

05 - 12 small mozzarella balls (bocconcini) or 12 cubes mozzarella cheese, about 1 inch each

06 - 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough, divided into 12 pieces

07 - 2 tablespoons melted butter

08 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

09 - 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, Buffalo wing sauce, cream cheese, and chopped chives until evenly mixed.

03 - Flatten each piece of dough into a 3-inch circle.

04 - Place 1 tablespoon of chicken filling and 1 mozzarella ball in the center of each dough circle.

05 - Enclose filling by pinching edges of dough and gently forming each into a sealed ball. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.

06 - Mix melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush mixture over the top of each dough ball.

07 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is golden brown and cooked through.

08 - Allow bombs to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, accompanied by ranch or blue cheese dip if desired.

Everyone thinks you worked twice as long as you did thanks to the gooey mozzarella centers.
The spicy, cheesy filling wrapped in buttery dough turns any living room into a tailgate party.

Under-filling leads to dry bites—err on the generous side, but pinch the seams firmly.
Letting them cool for a few minutes prevents explosive cheese eruptions—it took losing a good shirt to learn that.

03 -

Work the dough gently so it doesn't tear and leak while baking.
A sprinkle of flaky salt on top before baking adds a pop of flavor that makes people ask for your 'secret.'
