Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz rotisserie chicken, cooked, shredded
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup green onion, sliced
¾ cup buffalo sauce
¼ cup ranch dressing, plus more for serving
4 premade pie crusts, 9 inch (23 cm) each, thawed if frozen
egg wash, for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat to oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, salt, pepper, mozzarella cheese, green onions, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing.
  • Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick.
  • Using a paring knife, cut thin strips to resemble football laces. Then, cut out small football shapes from the remaining dough. Reroll any excess dough and cut out more shapes. You should have about 48 footballs total.

  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the chicken filling into the center of each football, leaving about a ½-inch (1 cm) border around the edges.
  • Brush the edges with egg wash and place another football on top, pressing the edges with your finger. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  • Arrange the lace cutouts on top of the footballs. Brush more egg wash over the tops.

Time 45m

Yield 10 hand pies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup Frank's® buffalo sauce
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup red onion
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon celery salt
2 square sheets pie dough
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup ranch dressing, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, mozzarella, red onion, black pepper, and celery salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Unroll the pie dough and cut out 4 circles from each sheet using a 3½-inch (8.75 cm) round cutter. Re-roll and cut out as many circles as you can, about 10 total. Discard the dough scraps. Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Fill each dough circle with 1 heaping tablespoon of the buffalo chicken filling. Fold in half to form a half-moon shape. Using a fork, press all along the outer edges to seal the dough together. Brush all over with the beaten egg yolks.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway, until the pies are slightly puffed and golden,. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • Serve the hand pies warm with ranch dressing alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through before adding it to the hand pies. You can check this by using a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a buttermilk substitute, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To ensure the buffalo sauce is evenly distributed throughout the chicken mixture, toss the chicken pieces in the sauce until they are well coated.
  • When assembling the hand pies, make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out while baking.
  • For a crispy crust, brush the tops of the hand pies with melted butter before baking.
  • Keep an eye on the hand pies while they are baking to ensure they don't overcook. The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be bubbling.

Conclusion:

Buffalo Chicken Football Hand Pies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that is perfect for game day or any occasion. With a crispy crust and a spicy, flavorful filling, these hand pies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a fun and unique way to enjoy buffalo chicken, give these hand pies a try.
