Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Buffalo Chicken Monkey Bread cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare a bundt pan by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or butter. This will help the monkey bread release easily once it's baked.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken and buffalo sauce. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated in the sauce.
- Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters. This will create bite-sized pieces that will be easy to layer in the bundt pan.
- In another bowl, combine the quartered biscuit pieces with the buffalo chicken mixture. Gently toss to ensure that the biscuit pieces are evenly coated with the chicken and sauce.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and fold it in gently. The cheese will melt and add delicious flavor to the monkey bread.
- Take the mixture and start layering it in the prepared bundt pan. You can alternate layers of the biscuit-chicken mixture with chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
- Once all the mixture is in the bundt pan, use a spoon to press it down gently to ensure everything is compacted together.
- Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
- While the monkey bread is baking, prepare the ranch dressing for serving. You can place it in a small bowl for dipping later.
- Once the baking time is complete, remove the bundt pan from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the monkey bread. If it doesn’t come out easily, gently tap the pan to help it along.
- Serve the Buffalo Chicken Monkey Bread warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired, alongside the ranch dressing for dipping.
Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken for an even easier preparation and guaranteed tender meat.
- Make sure to cut biscuit dough into uniform quarters for consistent cooking.
- Don't overmix the ingredients to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- For extra crispiness, spray the top lightly with cooking spray before baking.
- Let the monkey bread rest for 5 minutes after baking to help it set and make removal easier.
- If you prefer less heat, adjust the buffalo sauce quantity or use a milder hot sauce.
- Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and melted cheese experience.
- For a make-ahead option, you can prepare the mixture the night before and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Use a non-stick bundt pan or generously grease your pan to prevent sticking.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or a mix of cheeses for varied flavor profiles.
