Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Make the Buffalo Chicken Filling

Combine the Filling Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded rotisserie chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and buffalo sauce until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Puff Pastry

Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 9×12-inch rectangle.

Step 4: Fill and Roll the Pastry

Spread the Chicken Mixture: Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a border around the edges.
Roll the Pastry: Roll the pastry tightly into a log, sealing the edges as you go.
Slice the Roll: Slice the roll into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5: Bake the Roll-Ups

Brush with Egg: Brush the top of each roll-up with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Add Extra Filling: After baking, top the roll-ups with a little extra buffalo chicken mixture, and bake for an additional 6–8 minutes to warm everything through.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle the roll-ups with buffalo sauce and ranch dressing, then garnish with parsley.
Serve: Serve warm and enjoy the delicious combination of creamy, spicy goodness!

FAQs

1. Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the roll-ups up to the point of baking, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 1 day before baking.

2. Can I use a different type of pastry?

If you don’t have puff pastry, you can use crescent roll dough as a substitute. The texture will be different, but it will still be delicious!

3. Can I freeze these roll-ups?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled but unbaked roll-ups. Just place them on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a ziplock bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

4. How can I make them less spicy?

If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce in the filling or use a mild buffalo sauce. You can also add a little extra ranch dressing to balance out the heat.

5. What can I serve these with?

These Buffalo Chicken Roll-Ups are great on their own, but they also pair well with a side of vegetable sticks, a green salad, or even fries for a complete meal.
