Ingredients Notes

The magic of this recipe lies in its simplicity. With just a few key ingredients, you’ll create a snack that tastes like it came straight from your favorite pizzeria.
The dough is the foundation of these rolls. Refrigerated crescent roll dough works beautifully, offering a buttery, flaky base that wraps around the filling with ease. You can also use pizza dough for a heartier option.
Cooked, shredded chicken is the star of the filling. Leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly here, or you can cook your own and shred it.
The buffalo sauce brings the heat and tang. Use your favorite brand or adjust the quantity to suit your spice tolerance.
For creaminess, ranch or blue cheese dressing adds a cooling contrast to the buffalo sauce, balancing the flavors beautifully.
And don’t forget the shredded mozzarella cheese! It melts into gooey perfection, holding the filling together and adding that irresistible pull when you bite into a roll.
A baking sheet and parchment paper are all you’ll need to cook these to golden-brown perfection.
How To Make Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls

Making these Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls is so simple, you’ll wonder why you haven’t tried them sooner. Here’s the step-by-step process.
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. While it’s heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and ensure your crescent roll dough is at room temperature for easier handling.
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing until well combined. Adjust the buffalo sauce to your preferred heat level.
Roll out the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles. Spoon a small amount of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of each triangle. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the filling before rolling the dough tightly, starting from the wide end.
Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for even cooking. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly, making them easier to handle.
Storage Options
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, these Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls store wonderfully.
To refrigerate, place the cooled rolls in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
To reheat, pop them in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes or until warmed through. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator before reheating for best results.
Variations and Substitutions
This recipe is incredibly versatile, so feel free to get creative with the filling and flavors.
Swap the buffalo sauce for barbecue sauce to create BBQ Chicken Pizza Rolls. The smoky-sweet flavor is just as satisfying.
Not a fan of ranch? Use cream cheese instead for an ultra-creamy filling.
For extra spice, add a sprinkle of chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
Vegetarian? Replace the chicken with sautéed mushrooms or diced roasted veggies for a delicious meatless version.
Experiment with different cheeses, like cheddar or pepper jack, to add a unique twist to the flavor profile.
Whether you stick to the classic version or try something new, these Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls are bound to be a hit. Whip up a batch today and watch them disappear in no time!
