Ingredients Notes

The beauty of these Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls is how simple the ingredients are. Each one plays a key role in delivering bold flavor and perfect texture.

Pizza dough or crescent roll dough: Both options work wonderfully, but crescent roll dough adds a flaky, buttery twist. Look for fresh or refrigerated options for convenience.
Cooked, shredded chicken: Rotisserie chicken is my go-to for this recipe. It’s flavorful, moist, and saves time. If you’re cooking chicken from scratch, make sure to season it lightly with salt and pepper.
Buffalo sauce: The star of the show! Use your favorite brand, or make your own by mixing hot sauce with melted butter. Adjust the amount to match your spice preference.
Cheese: Mozzarella is classic for its meltability, but cheddar or Monterey Jack are great options if you want to mix things up.
Ranch or blue cheese dressing: This adds a creamy, tangy layer that complements the spicy buffalo sauce perfectly.

You’ll also need a little melted butter and some optional garnishes like chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh finish.

How To Make These Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls

Making these rolls is as fun as eating them! Let’s break it down step by step:

Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out your pizza or crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface, forming a rectangle.
Layer the Filling
Spread a thin layer of ranch or blue cheese dressing over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the dressing, then drizzle generously with buffalo sauce. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top.
Roll and Slice
Starting at one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch pieces, and arrange the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake to Perfection
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on them so the cheese doesn’t burn!
Serve and Enjoy
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired, and don’t forget extra buffalo sauce or dressing on the side for dipping.

These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but they also reheat beautifully for a snack the next day.

Storage Options

If you happen to have leftovers (unlikely!), here’s how to store them:

Refrigerator: Place cooled rolls in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze baked rolls in a single layer on a tray before transferring to a zip-top bag. Reheat directly from frozen in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes.

To reheat, warm the rolls in the oven to maintain their crispy texture. The microwave works in a pinch, but the rolls may lose some of their crispiness.

Variations and Substitutions

This recipe is endlessly customizable! Here are some ideas to try:

Vegetarian Version: Swap the chicken for sautéed mushrooms or roasted cauliflower for a veggie-packed twist.
Spice Level: Tone down the heat with a milder buffalo sauce, or crank it up by adding diced jalapeños to the filling.
Cheese Options: Experiment with cheeses like pepper jack for extra heat or Gouda for a smoky flavor.
Alternative Sauces: Not a fan of buffalo? Use barbecue sauce or pesto for a completely different flavor profile.
Dough Options: Try puff pastry for an ultra-flaky roll, or use gluten-free pizza dough for a dietary-friendly version.

Get creative and make these rolls your own. They’re guaranteed to be a hit no matter how you customize them!
