Buffalo Chicken Crescent Ring

Recipe Ingredients

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.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Crescent Ring

Here’s how to make this crowd-pleasing app.

1. Prepare the Filling

Mix the cream cheese and hot sauce until smooth. Add in chicken and shredded cheese and combine.

2. Prepare the Dough

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.

3. Add the Filling

Spoon the filling on the half of each triangle closest to the center of the ring. Top with blue cheese crumbles.

4. Wrap the Dough

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).

5. Bake and Enjoy!

Bake the ring at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes, slice, and serve!

How to Store (and Reheat) Buffalo Chicken Crescent Ring

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.

Refrigerator Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer Storage

We do not recommend storing leftovers in the freezer. The dough will lose its flaky texture and become soggy when reheated.

Reheating Instructions

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.
