Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups slow-cooked pulled buffalo chicken The star of the show, tender and spiced just right for a flavorful punch.
  • 4 oz cream cheese Soft and creamy, it binds everything together beautifully and adds richness.
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing Creamy and tangy, this dressing elevates the flavor profile to new heights.
  • 2 tbsp crumbled blue cheese Adds depth with its bold, pungent flavor, balancing the heat of the buffalo chicken.
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese Melts perfectly, contributing a mild creaminess.
  • 1/4 cup shredded Fontina cheese Adds a nutty flavor and enhances the overall cheesiness.
  • 1/4 cup shredded Gouda Smoky and rich, Gouda brings another layer of delicious complexity.
  • 1 tbsp Frank’s RedHot Original Hot Sauce The essential ingredient for that authentic buffalo flavor.
  • 2 cans Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Biscuits The flaky foundation that holds all that yumminess.
  • 2 tbsp melted butter Brushed on top for added richness and a beautiful golden finish.
  • 1 tsp kosher salt Enhances all flavors and brings everything together.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese, Monterey Jack, Fontina, Gouda, and Frank’s RedHot Sauce. Stir until everything is melted and smooth.
  • Gently stir in the pulled buffalo chicken until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Open the cans of Pillsbury Grands! Buttermilk Biscuits and carefully separate them. Flatten each biscuit into a 5-inch round.
  • Place a portion of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each biscuit round. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch tightly to seal.
  • Place the filled biscuits seam-side down in the greased baking dish, arranging them attractively.

Baking

  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Once baked, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt.

Serving

  • Serve hot with extra blue cheese dressing and Frank’s RedHot on the side.

Notes

Allowing the chicken mixture to chill slightly makes filling the biscuits easier. Adjust Frank’s RedHot for spiciness, and feel free to experiment with cheese.
