Buffalo Chicken Monkey Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 12x7.75-inch football cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Add chicken, blue cheese, and ½ cup of buffalo wing sauce to a bowl and toss to combine.
• Separate the biscuits and cut each round in half. Flatten each biscuit piece. Add about half a tablespoon of the chicken mixture to the center of each flattened dough piece. Pinch and seal, then roll into a ball.
• Add ½ cup buffalo sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a liquid measuring cup. Whisk. Microwave 30 seconds and whisk again.
• Brush some of the mixture into the bottom of the greased pan. Dip each ball in remaining sauce and place into the cake pan. You should have enough balls to cover the entire cake pan, with three balls in the center making a second layer.
• Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until golden brown. If the outer dough starts getting too brown during baking, cover with foil. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Invert the football bread onto a serving platter. Brush all over with buffalo sauce and immediately garnish with chives.
• Decoratively pipe the football stitching with the Ranch dressing. Serve with extra dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 6-cup tube pan with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a bit of vegetable oil using a pastry brush.
• In a medium bowl, mix the chicken with 6 tbsp of the buffalo chicken sauce.
• Cut 5 of the biscuits into quarters, making 20 smaller pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle.
• Place 1 teaspoon of blue cheese crumbles into the centre of each circle. Bring the edges of the dough up to cover the cheese and pinch together to seal the cheese inside the dough.
• Set these aside.
• Cut the remaining 7 biscuits in half, making 14 medium pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle.
• Place 1 tablespoon of chicken in the centre of each circle. Bring the edges of the dough up to cover the chicken and pinch together to seal the chicken inside the dough.
• Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of buffalo chicken sauce into the bottom of the tube pan in an even layer.
• Brush the dough balls with the melted butter. Layer them into the tube pan - try to alternate between cheese and chicken so you get them evenly distributed throughout.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden-brown on top.
• Place a serving plate upside down over the tube pan. Flip the plate and tube pan together to tip the monkey bread out.
• Drizzle the ranch dressing over the top of the monkey bread. Sprinkle with the chives and parsley to decorate. Serve warm with the cut celery.
• TIPS:.
• If you only have a 12-cup tube pan, you can use it, but the monkey bread will not fill the pan.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast, warm water, and ½ teaspoon sugar. Let sit until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ¼ cup sugar, the all-purpose flour, bread flour, salt, eggs, canola oil, and honey. Fit the mixer with the dough hook and mix on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium and continue mixing, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until a smooth ball forms, 5-7 minutes.
• Grease a large bowl with nonstick spray. Add the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature until the dough is almost doubled in size, 1½-2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Frank's RedHot® Buffalo Wing Sauce, cream cheese, and minced scallions. Mix well.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large pizza sheet with parchment paper.
• Make the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until combined.
• Divide the dough into 3 equal portions and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll 1 portion into a 12-inch round and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Spread half of the chicken filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the filling.
• Roll out another dough portion and place on top of the cheese. Layer the remaining filling and cheese over the dough. Roll out the last dough portion and place it on top. Press the edges together to seal.
• Use a cup to gently mark a 3-inch circle in the center of the dough. Using a sharp knife, make 16 equal cuts from the edges of the center circle to the edges of the dough. Take 2 adjacent portions of dough and twist toward each other 2 or 3 times. Pinch the ends of the dough together. Repeat with remaining sections of dough until there are 6 points to the star. Brush the egg wash evenly over the bread.
• Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle more Frank's RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce over the star and serve with more sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!
