Tips & Variations

Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut instead of cooking your own chicken.
Add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika for extra flavor in the filling.
For milder bombs, reduce the buffalo sauce or substitute with barbecue sauce.
Try swapping cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a spicier kick.

Storage

Store leftover chicken bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes to maintain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the dough flaky and golden.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time and bake later?

Yes, you can assemble the chicken bombs and refrigerate them unbaked for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving for best results.

Can I freeze these chicken bombs?

Absolutely. Freeze the assembled bombs on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
