When you’re preparing an appetizer for game day, family reunions, parties, or the holidays, you can’t go wrong with Buffalo chicken. This crescent ring brings the beloved appetizer to the next level.
Traditional Buffalo chicken is served as a dip with celery, carrots, or bread. This recipe uses crescents to make serving and eating even easier. The flaky crescent texture works wonderfully with the filling and gives you an easy way to serve your appetizer. Just slice the ring, and you’re ready to go!
Buffalo Chicken Crescent Ring comes together easily with the right ingredients!
Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls: You can’t make a crescent ring without crescents! The dough is easy to work with, so all you have to do is unroll and start making!
Chopped Cooked Chicken: This recipe is a great way to use leftovers if you have them; white or dark meat will work. Rotisserie chicken is also a great, easy option. You could replace it with turkey if preferred.
Hot Sauce or Red Pepper Sauce: You can use your sauce of choice, but many grocery stores sell Buffalo-specific hot sauces if you want extra flavor.
Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Blue cheese rounds out Buffalo chicken’s distinct flavor, but you can omit it and serve your ring with ranch instead if preferred. Cream cheese gives you a gooey, warm center. Finally, shredded Monterey Jack gives the filling extra cheesiness and keeps it bound together.
Here’s how to make this crowd-pleasing app.
Mix the cream cheese and hot sauce until smooth. Add in chicken and shredded cheese and combine.
On a large, ungreased baking sheet, arrange the dough triangles in a ring so the short sides of the triangles form a 5-inch circle in the center. The dough will overlap, and the ring should look like a sun.
Spoon the filling on the half of each triangle closest to the center of the ring. Top with blue cheese crumbles.
Bring each dough triangle over the filling, tucking it under the bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around the ring until the entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show).
Bake the ring at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes, slice, and serve!
If you have leftovers, storing and reheating them properly is crucial. With these easy tips, you can enjoy your leftovers for a few days after you make this recipe.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
We do not recommend storing leftovers in the freezer. The dough will lose its flaky texture and become soggy when reheated.
To reheat, cover leftovers with foil and bake at 375°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through. You could microwave leftovers, but expect the dough to become a bit soggy if you use this method.
Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix cream cheese and hot sauce until smooth. Mix in chicken and shredded cheese just until combined.
Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On ungreased large baking sheet, arrange triangles in a ring so short sides of triangles form a 5-inch circle in center. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like a sun.
Spoon cream cheese mixture on the half of each triangle closest to center of ring. Top with blue cheese crumbles.
Bring each dough triangle up over filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little).
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into serving slices.
Add a bit of fresh to your appetizer: serve with celery and carrot sticks and a side of blue cheese dressing.
You can use leftover cut-up cooked chicken or pick up a deli rotisserie chicken at the supermarket; remove chicken from bones and cut into bite-size pieces.
