Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, finely sliced (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)
- Optional garnishes: chopped parsley, extra buffalo sauce, crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into 16 triangles. Lay them out on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle extra cheese if desired.
- Roll up each triangle from the wide end, tucking in the filling as you go. Arrange seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
Keep crescent dough cold for easier handling. Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent bursting. Use parchment or silicone mats for easy cleanup. Filling can be made ahead and refrigerated. For extra spice, add hot sauce to the melted butter before brushing. Rolls can be frozen unbaked and baked from frozen with a few extra minutes.
