Buffalo Chicken Rolls

Don't you love when you can make something awesome out of ingredients you just happen to have on hand? After making Leftover Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Rolls, I was determined to get crafty with a package of rolls that were leftover from Thanksgiving dinner. I grabbed some frozen chicken thighs, Frank's Red Hot Wings Sauce {Buffalo}, Marie's Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing and some Parmesan Cheese. Then I got to work creating these friggin' awesome Buffalo Chicken Rolls. They are like savory cupcakes of spicy meat with a cool frosting - they are addicting to say the very, very least. Even leftover and cold.

First, I defrosted the chicken thighs and seasoned with salt & pepper. Then I grilled until done.

Chopped it up.

I got a scant 2 cups after feeding little monsters kids that kept walking by. {oh, I took some too...}

Then I mixed the chicken with hot sauce and parmesan cheese.

Here are those leftover rolls I had mentioned before. They were croissant muffins - pretty genius if you ask me.

I cut into the center of each roll and placed them in a muffin pan.

Then I CRAMMED them full of the chicken mixture. I was surprised how much chicken fit into each roll.

Popped them into the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes and then drizzled plopped a nice mound of blue cheese dressing on top of each roll.

These are what dreams are made of. They would be perfect paired with a salad - or just by themselves as we had them. {shameless}
