Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a cooking sheet with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, add shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce and cheddar cheese. Use a large mixing spoon to stir ingredients until well combined; set aside.
If using homemade biscuit dough, using a bench cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into equal 8 pieces, 2 ounces each. If using canned dough, separate the pieces. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, flatten each piece into a circle, about 4 inches across.
Using a medium-sized scoop, add a portion of chicken mixture onto the center of each piece of biscuit dough. Pull the sides up and over the filling, then press the edges together tightly to enclose the filling.
Arrange the chicken bombs on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Using a basting brush, add melted butter to the bombs.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven; If desired, brush each chicken bomb with more melted butter, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and drizzle ranch dressing over the tops.

To save time on prep, use store-bought rotisserie chicken for this recipe. It's already cooked, tender, and shreds beautifully—making these buffalo chicken dip bites even quicker to assemble!
Be sure to bring the cream cheese to room temperature first. When combining the ingredients, it’s important to use soft cream cheese so it can properly coat the chicken instead of forming cold, hard clumps. To do this, set the cream cheese on the counter for about an hour before you start cooking.

Recipe Variations:

Extra spicy kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the filling for a bolder bite. Don’t overdo it or you’ll lose the balance of flavor.
Cheesy blend: Swap or mix in mozzarella cheese with the cheddar for an extra gooey texture. The mildness of mozzarella adds a creamy stretch that pairs perfectly with the heat.
Rotisserie shortcut: Use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking and shredding your own. It’s a quick way to cut down on prep time and reduce excess steps without sacrificing flavor.
Garlic ranch twist: Mix garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the biscuit dough or the chicken filling for a savory, herby punch that complements the tang of the buffalo sauce.

Storing Instructions:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
You can also freeze the balls in a plastic bag or container for up to three months.
To reheat, allow them to defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Then, reheat in the oven at 375°F for about 12 minutes or until the center reaches 165°F using a digital thermometer.
