Can I use a different cheese for these skewers?

Yes, pepper jack or Monterey Jack offer extra heat and creaminess. Any sharp cheese melts well and enhances flavor.

How can I make these biscuits even spicier?

Add a dash of chili flakes or use hotter chips. Including diced jalapeño, leave seeds in for bold kick.

Cool ranch, blue cheese, or a creamy jalapeño sauce contrast the heat and add extra richness.

Shape the biscuits and refrigerate up to 4 hours unbaked. Bake fresh just before serving for best texture.

Yes, these skewers are vegetarian-friendly. Check chip ingredients for any trace animal products.

Use cold butter and buttermilk, mix gently, and avoid overworking dough for soft, flaky biscuits.

Tender, cheesy biscuits with a fiery kick, baked on skewers for a fun, shareable appetizer or snack.

I created these after craving a snack with true heat and cheesy comfort, and the skewers make them perfect for game night with friends.

Prepare Oven and Skewers:: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes if using.
Mix Dry Ingredients:: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, smoked paprika, cayenne, and 1 cup crushed Flamin Hot chips.
Add Butter:: Add cold cubed butter. Cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Cheese and Extras:: Stir in shredded cheddar, scallions, and jalapeño (if using).
Combine With Buttermilk:: Add cold buttermilk and mix gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
Shape Biscuits:: Divide dough into 8 equal portions. With floured hands, shape each portion into a 2-inch ball and gently flatten into a disk.
Thread Biscuits Onto Skewers:: Thread each biscuit disk onto a skewer, pressing gently to secure and leaving space between each disk if making multiple per skewer, or one large disk per skewer.
Prepare For Baking:: Place skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each biscuit lightly with melted butter and sprinkle extra crushed Flamin Hot chips on top.
Bake:: Bake for 16–18 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
Serve:: Cool slightly before serving warm.

My kids get so excited when these come out of the oven, and even my vegetarian relatives ask for the recipe every holiday.
