Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups shredded cooked chicken; 1/2 cup buffalo sauce; 4 oz cream cheese, softened; 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese; 1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed; 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (for drizzling); 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

If you’re a fan of bold flavors and easy party snacks, these Buffalo Chicken Roll-Ups will quickly become your go-to crowd-pleaser. They marry the tangy heat of buffalo sauce with creamy cheese and tender shredded chicken, all nestled in golden, flaky pastry. Whether you’re hosting a game night, tailgate, or just need a savory treat, these roll-ups are irresistibly addictive.

What makes them extra special? The combination of crunchy exterior with a warm, cheesy interior gives every bite that perfect contrast.

Drizzle on some ranch or blue cheese dressing, and you’ve got a snack that’s not only satisfying but completely crave-worthy.

What Kind of Puff Pastry Should I Use?

Store-bought puff pastry sheets work perfectly for this recipe. Look for all-butter varieties if you can, as they offer the best flavor and flakiness. Thaw them completely before use to ensure they roll and bake evenly. You can also use crescent roll dough for a slightly softer, breadier bite.

Ingredients for the Buffalo Chicken Roll-Ups

Shredded Chicken: The base of the filling, providing hearty texture and protein. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience or any leftover cooked chicken.

Buffalo Sauce: Delivers that signature spicy kick. Use your favorite brand or make your own with hot sauce and melted butter.

Cream Cheese: Adds creamy richness and helps bind the filling together.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese: For extra melt and a gooey bite. It balances the heat with sharp, tangy flavor.

Puff Pastry Sheets: Flaky and buttery, they serve as the perfect vessel for wrapping the spicy chicken mix.

Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing: For drizzling on top, giving that cool contrast to the spicy filling.

Fresh Parsley (optional): Adds a pop of color and freshness for presentation.

How To Make the Buffalo Chicken Roll-Ups

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and shredded cheddar until well combined.

Step 2: Roll the Pastry

Lay out the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut them into even squares. Spoon a generous amount of the buffalo chicken mixture onto the center of each square.

Step 3: Shape the Roll-Ups

Fold the corners toward the center, pinching lightly to seal or leave them slightly open on top for a rustic look.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Place roll-ups on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Serving and Storing Buffalo Chicken Roll-Ups

Serve these roll-ups warm, straight from the oven, for maximum gooeyness. They make a fantastic finger food for parties, or pair nicely with a side salad for a light lunch.

To store leftovers, allow them to cool fully and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to retain their crispness.
