03 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

04 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

05 - 12 small mozzarella balls or 12 1-inch cubes mozzarella cheese

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, thoroughly combine shredded chicken, Buffalo wing sauce, cream cheese, and chives until homogeneous.

03 - Flatten each piece of biscuit or pizza dough into a 3-inch round.

07 - Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on the exterior.

Tightly wrapping the dough is non-negotiable—any cracks and you’ll lose precious cheese to the oven floor.
Switching to biscuit dough was a game changer; it puffs perfectly and soaks up butter in the most delicious way.

Generously buttering the bombs before baking gives that crowd-pleasing golden crust—don’t hold back.
A pinch of cayenne in the chicken mixture wakes everything up if your group loves heat.
