Buffalo Chicken Monkey Bread

Servings 10

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • Avocado oil for binder
  • Your favorite BBQ rub
  • 1 pound bacon
  • 1 block cream cheese softened
  • 1 pack ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce plus more for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 pack refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Cooking spray for Bundt pan
  • Ranch dressing for serving

Instructions
 

  • Lightly coat the chicken breasts with avocado oil, then generously apply your favorite BBQ rub to cover all sides evenly.
  • Preheat your smoker to 250°F and place hickory wood chunks for flavor.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the smoker for even cooking.
  • Lay out the bacon slices on a wire rack and place this over a baking sheet to catch drippings.
  • Add the wire rack with bacon into the smoker alongside the chicken, smoking until the bacon is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 155°F.
  • Once cooked, shred the chicken breasts into small pieces using two forks or your hands.
  • Chop the smoked bacon into small, bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped bacon, softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, chopped scallions, shredded jack cheese, and sour cream, mixing thoroughly.
  • Cut each biscuit in the pack in half and flatten each piece into a thin disc.
  • Place a tablespoon of the buffalo chicken mixture on each flattened biscuit piece, wrap the dough around the filling, and roll it into a ball. Repeat with all the biscuit pieces.
  • Melt butter and mix in minced garlic, then roll each stuffed dough ball in this mixture.
  • Spray the inside of a Bundt pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Place the coated dough balls into the Bundt pan, arranging evenly and adding any remaining buffalo chicken mixture on top.
  • Bake in a preheated grill or oven at 350°F for about 60 minutes if using a grill, or 45-50 minutes in the oven, until golden brown.
  • Let the monkey bread rest in the pan for about 6 minutes after baking.
  • Carefully flip the Bundt pan over onto a serving plate to release the bread.
  • Drizzle extra buffalo sauce and ranch dressing over the bread for added flavor.
  • Serve warm, allowing guests to pull apart their own pieces to enjoy.
