Ingredients (Makes 8 bombs)

Filling:

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

¼ cup Buffalo wing sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

2 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

1 tsp ranch seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)

Wrapping:

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
(or use homemade or pizza dough)

1 tbsp melted butter

1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Prepare Filling (5 minutes)

In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and ranch seasoning.

Mix until creamy and well combined. Set aside.

Assemble the Bombs (10 minutes)

Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a circle (~4 inches wide).

Spoon ~1 tbsp of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center.

Carefully wrap the dough around the filling and pinch edges to seal. Roll into a smooth ball.

Brush each bomb with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and parsley.

Air Fry (8–10 minutes)

Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.

Place bombs in the basket seam-side down, leaving space between them.

Optional Add-Ons:

Add chopped green onions or bacon bits to the filling.

Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the tops before air frying.
