Buffalo Chicken Crescent Ring (Printable)

Golden crescent dough stuffed with spicy buffalo chicken and a blend of creamy cheeses.

# Components:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (rotisserie or poached)

→ Buffalo Sauce Mixture

02 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
03 - 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
04 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Cheese & Cream

05 - 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

→ Crescent Dough

07 - 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

→ Toppings (Optional)

08 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
09 - 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
10 - Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for serving

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, mix shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
03 - Add softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to the chicken mixture and stir until fully combined.
04 - Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet with the short sides touching to form a 6-inch center circle and points radiating outward like a sun.
05 - Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly around the circle, keeping the filling close to the base of the triangles.
06 - Fold the pointed ends of each crescent triangle over the filling, tucking the points under the base to seal and create a ring shape.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
08 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and crumbled blue cheese if desired.
09 - Slice the ring and serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You can throw this together fast enough that nobody expects how good it’ll taste.
  • The creamy spicy filling paired with soft crescent dough is the party snack everyone returns for—not just once.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese isn’t really soft, you’ll fight lumps you don’t want in your filling.
  • Letting the ring cool just five minutes stops the cheese from escaping in rivers when you slice.
03 -
  • Chill the crescent dough can slightly before assembly so the triangles stay easy to handle.
  • Don’t overfill—the filling wants to escape if you get excited and pile it on.
