These crispy buffalo chicken crescent roll pinwheels combine flaky crescent dough with a spicy buffalo chicken filling and a cooling ranch drizzle, perfect for quick snacks or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package crescent roll dough (typically 8 rolls, refrigerated)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Ranch dressing for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Press down the perforations gently to seal them, creating one large rectangular sheet.
  4. Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the dough, leaving a ½ inch border around the edges.
  5. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log starting from one of the longer edges.
  6. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels, yielding about 8-10 pieces.
  7. Place pinwheels cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with ranch dressing before serving.

Notes

Seal the dough perforations well to prevent filling leakage. Soften cream cheese before mixing for a smoother filling. Chill filling if too runny. Watch baking time closely to avoid over-browning. For extra crispiness, broil 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully.
