A quick and easy game day snack featuring a spicy buffalo chicken and cream cheese filling wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough, baked until golden and crispy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing or ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese or ranch dressing for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing. Mix until well combined and thick.
  3. Unroll crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and press seams together to form a large rectangle.
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of a dough section. Roll the dough around the filling to form a ball, pinching seams tightly to seal.
  5. Repeat with remaining filling and dough to make 12-15 bites.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the bites with the butter mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
  7. Place bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and puffed up.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with dipping sauce.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. Do not overfill the bites to prevent dough from bursting. Let cool for 5 minutes as the filling will be very hot. Can be frozen unbaked and baked from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to cook time.
