If you love my original Taco Ring or Breakfast Taco Ring, then you’re definitely going to love this Buffalo Chicken Ring recipe!

As the queen of buffalo sauce, I feel it’s my great honor and privilege to present buffalo chicken to you in every way possible! Tossed with penne pasta, made into the best chili ever and of course wrapped up in flakey, buttery crescent roll dough!

This Buffalo Chicken Ring is so easy to make for weeknight meals. Simply toss cooked, shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, shredded carrots and pepper jack cheese, then wrap it up in crescent roll dough. After a quick bake in the oven, dinner is on the table!

I love to make this recipe during the week, but it’s also perfect for game day. Hosting a crowd of friends on Sunday during football season? Toss two of these Buffalo Chicken Ring’s together and your party guests will be raving about them!

Step by step instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Combine cooked, shredded chicken and buffalo sauce together in a large bowl.
   • Quick Tip! This easy Instant Pot Shredded Chicken can be made ahead of time to use in the recipe. You can also purchase already cooked & shredded chicken at the grocery store, or pull the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
     • You can also use my easy Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken recipe or Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken recipe to make the buffalo chicken ahead of time.
3. Add shredded carrots and diced green onions to the chicken mixture with shredded pepper jack cheese.
   • Quick Tip! You can mix up the shredded cheese if you’d like and use cheddar or mozzarella instead.
4. Mix everything in the bowl together.
5. Form a ring with the crescent rolls by placing a small glass on the center of a baking stone then staggering the crescent roll dough, in rectangle form, around the glass.
6. Add the buffalo chicken mixture to the middle of the crescent roll ring around the glass.
7. Carefully remove the glass from the middle and roll the dough up and over the buffalo chicken filling.
8. Place the roll in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing or additional buffalo sauce for dipping.

What kind of buffalo sauce do you use?

I like to use Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce, but feel free to use your favorite brand of buffalo sauce.

If you don’t like buffalo sauce, you can also mix things up and use your favorite hot sauce. Or for something not so spicy, you could use BBQ sauce.

How do you reheat it

I recommend reheating the buffalo chicken ring in the oven, if possible, to keep the crescent rolls from getting soggy. To reheat, place slices of the chicken ring on a baking sheet and into a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.

The buffalo chicken ring will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and makes delicious leftovers for dinner the next night!
