Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes. Rotisserie chicken is an excellent time-saving option and adds plenty of flavor.
Can I freeze them before baking?
Yes. Freeze the assembled, unbaked biscuit bombs on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 28–35 minutes.
Can I make these with homemade dough?
Absolutely. Pizza dough, homemade biscuit dough, or bread dough all work well. Adjust the baking time based on the dough used.
How do I know they’re done?
The tops should be golden brown, and the internal temperature of the filling should reach 165°F (74°C) if using freshly prepared chicken.
Can I substitute the cheeses?
Yes. Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, Gouda, Swiss, or provolone all melt well and can be used instead of or alongside cheddar and mozzarella.
These cheesy chicken biscuit bombs are ideal as a game-day snack, family dinner, or party appetizer, especially when served with ranch dressing, honey mustard, marinara, or barbecue sauce for dipping.
