How to Make Buffalo Chicken Pinwheels
INGREDIENTS –
- refrigerated crescent rolls
- shredded cooked chicken (canned chicken breast or rotisserie chicken both work great!)
- cream cheese
- buffalo wing sauce (I use Frank’s Red Hot sauce)
- crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- sliced green onions, optional for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS –
Preheat the oven and line 2 baking sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Roll out the crescent roll dough into a long rectangle on your work surface.
In a medium bowl, add the chicken, cream cheese and buffalo sauce.
Spread the chicken mixture over the crescent rolls, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the two long sides.
Roll the dough up into a long tube, then slice it into 3/4-inch slices with a serrated knife.
Sprinkle with some gorgonzola cheese, then pop the trays in the oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
These buffalo chicken pinwheels are delicious with a side of celery, carrots, and some blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping. They will definitely be the star of your game day party!
STORAGE
Wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. The crescent rolls are best reheated in a toaster oven, but you can use a microwave if that’s easier.
