Although they originated in Eastern Europe, kolaches have become a Texas tradition too; the sweet pastries sometimes go savory, as in this easy, wings-inspired game day snack that uses prepared biscuit dough as the base. It’s wrapped up around shredded chicken in buffalo hot sauce, then baked until golden and crisp, and served with a quick, homemade buttermilk blue cheese sauce for dipping. You don’t have to be from Dallas (or even a Cowboys fan) to fall for these, but if you are, it might make you love them even more. For more team-inspired snacks, get our New England Clam Chowder Bites recipe and our Kielbasa-Cheddar Garbage Bread recipe too.

Tips for Chicken

Tip
How to Store Chicken
Raw or cooked chicken can be stored in a refrigerator for a few days, though it’s important to prevent raw chicken juices from leaking and contaminating other foods. Ensure that chicken remains in its original packaging (which should be vacuum-sealed or tightly-wrapped) until it is ready to be cooked.

How to Freeze Chicken
While freezing will make your chicken less tender and juicy, it is the perfect way to store the family-sized pack you bought at Costco last weekend. Remove the chicken from its original packaging and rewrap it tightly using aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or freezer paper. Double wrap if you are planning to store the chicken for more than two months. Ground chicken can last up to three months in the freezer, while chicken pieces can last up to nine.

Tip
How to Thaw Chicken
You should never thaw chicken at room temperature, as it is highly susceptible to bacteria growth. Frozen chicken should either be thawed in the microwave, in the refrigerator, or in cold water (which should be changed every 30 minutes).

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2In a small saucepan, cook 3 tablespoons butter, hot sauce, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon salt over low heat, whisking until the butter is melted and fully incorporated. Toss hot sauce mixture with shredded chicken. 
  3. 3On a work surface, flatten each biscuit round to about 1/4-inch thickness. Top each round of dough with about 1 tablespoon chicken mixture, cheese, and minced celery. Pinch the edges together to create a ball.
  4. 4Place the balls seam side-down on the baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chives.
  5. 5Bake until the tops of biscuits are golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  6. 6While kolaches bake, whisk sour cream, buttermilk, blue cheese, pepper, remaining 1 tablespoon chives, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Serve kolaches with dip.
