Here’s my idea of pub food made easy: biscuits flavored with Buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese. They're my Friday night favorite. —Maria Regakis, Saugus, Massachusetts

Ingredients

3/4 pound ground chicken
1/3 cup Buffalo wing sauce
1 tube (16.3 ounces) large refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Blue cheese salad dressing, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet, cook chicken over medium heat 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Remove from heat; stir in wing sauce.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit into a 6-in. circle; top each with 1/4 cup chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese. Fold dough over filling; pinch edge to seal.
Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. If desired, serve with blue cheese dressing. Freeze option: Freeze cooled pockets in a resealable plastic freezer bag. To use, reheat pockets on an ungreased baking sheet in a preheated 375° oven until heated through.

Used chunk canned chicken. Easy for teens to make. Makes a great lunch or for lunch boxes.

I couldn't find ground chicken so I chopped up pre-sliced chicken tenders, it was still very good! Great for a light supper or just an anytime snack.

I made these tonight and actually used the leftover baked buffalo chicken cut up from the October 2015 TOH issue https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/baked-buffalo-chicken. I also added additional hot sauce to kick things up a notch. What a great way to use leftovers.
