# Method Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix until chicken is evenly coated. Set aside to cool slightly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
04 - Add cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the butter into the mixture until coarse crumbs form.
05 - Stir in blue cheese crumbles until evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
06 - Add buffalo chicken mixture and buttermilk to dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
07 - Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a rectangle approximately 1 inch thick.
08 - Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut rounds out of the dough. Arrange biscuits 2 inches apart on prepared sheet.
09 - Brush tops with extra buttermilk. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
10 - Cool biscuits for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions and extra blue cheese crumbles if desired. Serve warm.
