Preheat your oven to 375°F. This ensures that the rolls bake evenly and become perfectly golden.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chicken, shredded cheese, hot sauce, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix everything well until it forms a cohesive filling. You want to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed for the best flavor.
Open the tube of crescent rolls and carefully separate the triangles. Be gentle; you want to keep them intact as much as possible.
Take a triangle of the dough and add a spoonful of the filling to the wide end. Don’t overstuff them, or they may burst during baking. Just enough to fill it comfortably works best!
Starting from the wide end, roll the triangle toward the pointed tip, folding the sides over the filling as you go. When you reach the point, pinch the seams to seal the roll tightly. This step is critical; otherwise, some of the filling may ooze out while baking.
Repeat the rolling process for the remaining triangles and filling until everything is used up. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for a shiny, golden finish. Sprinkle the tops with plain bread crumbs for an added crunchy texture.
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you want the tops to turn a beautiful golden color. Avoid opening the oven door too early, as this can cause the rolls to flatten.
Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness of your homemade Buffalo Chicken Crescent Rolls!
