How to Make Buffalo Chicken Puff Pastry Bites
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
- Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and gently roll it flat. Cut into 16 equal squares.
- Press one puff pastry square into each muffin cup.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, and ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Divide the buffalo chicken mixture evenly among the puff pastry cups. Sprinkle the tops with blue cheese or feta crumbles.
- Bake for 17 to 19 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and deeply golden and the filling is hot.
- Let cool in the pan for 1-2 minutes before carefully removing. If needed, run a butter knife along the edges to release them from the pan.
- Drizzle or dip with additional ranch or blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with green onions, if desired.
Tips For the Best Buffalo Chicken Bites
- Rotisserie chicken is an easy shortcut for the shredded chicken.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce depending on how spicy you want the filling.
- Don't overfill the pastry cups or the filling may spill over as they bake.
- Ranch gives the cups a milder, more crowd-friendly flavor, while blue cheese gives them a more classic buffalo chicken flavor.
- These are best served warm while the puff pastry is crisp.
