Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Pull Apart Bread

Buffalo Chicken Filling

2 tablespoons softened butter (28 g)
1/4 cup creamy herb dressing (60 ml)
4 oz. cream cheese, softened (113 g)
1/4 cup Buffalo Wings Sauce (60 ml)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt to taste
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided (113 g)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided (113 g)
2 cups shredded chicken (about 1 1/2 pounds / 680 g)
4 pieces cooked and crumbled turkey strips
2 16.3 oz. packages refrigerated biscuits (16 total)
2 tablespoons melted butter (28 g)

Ingredient Notes

If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the buffalo sauce slightly and add a bit more dressing for balance. Use freshly grated cheese—it melts more smoothly and gives better texture. Shredded chicken from a roast works beautifully, or you can use pre-cooked chicken for convenience. The turkey strips add a satisfying smoky note that complements the spicy sauce.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Pull Apart Bread

Step 1 – Prepare the Pan and Filling

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with softened butter and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together creamy herb dressing, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and all the spices until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup each of cheddar and mozzarella. Then fold in the shredded chicken and crumbled turkey strips until everything is evenly coated.

Step 2 – Assemble the Biscuit Ring

Separate the biscuits on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken filling onto each biscuit. Stack 3 or 4 filled biscuits together, then stand them upright in the greased bundt pan. Repeat until you’ve used all biscuits and filling, forming a complete ring. It will fit snugly, which helps it bake into a beautiful shape.

Step 3 – Bake and Finish

Drizzle the top evenly with melted butter. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the biscuits comes out clean. If the top browns before the biscuits are fully baked, cover loosely with foil. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and return to the oven for 3–5 minutes, until melted and bubbly. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack before flipping back upright.

Pro Tips for Success

• Use room-temperature cream cheese for easy mixing.
• Make sure biscuits are cold when assembling for better layering.
• Add a little extra cheese between layers for an even gooier pull.
• Let the bread rest briefly after baking so it holds its shape.
• Prepare the filling up to a day in advance for quick assembly later.
• Serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and stretchy.

Flavor Variations

You can have fun changing up this pull apart bread with a few twists.

2. Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bread – Swap buffalo sauce for a creamy garlic butter and sprinkle with Parmesan.
3. Honey BBQ Chicken Bread – Replace the buffalo sauce with a smoky BBQ sauce and drizzle a touch of honey before baking.
4. Ranch Style Chicken Bread – Mix a tablespoon of ranch seasoning into the filling for a cool, tangy flavor.
5. Cheesy Loaded Chicken Bread – Add chopped bell peppers or scallions for a colorful touch.

Storage and Freezing Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 10–12 minutes to bring back the soft, gooey texture. To freeze, wrap portions tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then store for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen until warmed through.
