These Crispy Buffalo Chicken Pinwheel Rolls are a quick and easy snack featuring spicy buffalo chicken rolled inside crescent dough, baked to golden perfection, and served with a creamy homemade ranch dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz / 226 g)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (about 140 g)
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (120 ml)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100 g)
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional, 30 g)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (14 g)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (120 g)
  • ¼ cup sour cream (60 g)
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (1 g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (3 g)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (3 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional, 6 g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15 ml)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded cooked chicken with the buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and press the perforations to seal into one sheet.
  4. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and blue cheese crumbles (if using) evenly on top.
  6. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge like a jelly roll, pressing to seal the edges.
  7. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels, yielding about 8 to 10 pieces.
  8. Arrange the pinwheels cut side up on the baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
  9. Brush the tops of the pinwheels with melted butter using a pastry brush.
  10. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  11. While baking, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the ranch dip. Chill until serving.
  12. Let the pinwheels cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with the ranch dip.

Notes

If pinwheels brown too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use room temperature dough for easier rolling. For gluten-free, substitute crescent dough with gluten-free puff pastry. For dairy-free ranch, use coconut yogurt and vegan mayo. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep crispiness.
