These Buffalo chicken pizza rolls are filling little rolls—the perfect bite-sized appetizer or snack. The Buffalo sauce, chicken, and cheese ratio is ideal; it's not too saucy or overly spicy. The ranch butter brushed overtop adds another layer of herbaceous flavor that's a new spin on a classic combo.
