BBQ Crescent Roll Cups
These BBQ Crescent Roll Cups use refrigerated crescent roll dough that are molded into cups, filled with sweet and sticky BBQ shredded chicken, baked beans, and cheddar jack cheese.
These crescent roll cups are baked until the dough is golden and the filling is bubbling hot, perfect as a snack, party appetizer, or light lunch served alongside a leafy green salad.
Recipe Notes:
- While I haven’t specified what brand of crescent roll dough to use for this recipe, my go-to is usually Pillsbury Crescents which you can easily get in store or on Amazon.
- Enjoy these BBQ crescent roll cups with a side of potato wedges, fries, or side salad for a delicious lunch option or a light dinner.
- To reheat leftover BBQ crescent roll cups, wrap them in aluminum foil and bake them at 350℉ in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
Store your baked crescent roll cups in an airtight container, wrapped individually in plastic wrap, for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
Make sure that your roll cups have completely cooled before storing them.
Yes, you can! Either freeze your assembled roll cups baked or unbaked in the freezer for up to 1 month. When preparing your roll cups for storage, wrap them first in plastic wrap and then transfer them to an airtight container.
Defrost your frozen roll cups overnight in the refrigerator before reheating or baking.
Absolutely! While most crescent roll recipes are baked, there’s nothing stopping you from cooking them in the air fryer.
Simply place your BBQ crescent roll cups on your air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch. Then cook your roll cups at 350°F for 4-6 minutes until they are golden brown.

Yes, you can! While I’ve used shredded chicken for this recipe, go right ahead and use pulled turkey, pulled pork, or even pulled beef if you like. I usually always have leftover shredded chicken in my fridge or freezer which makes this a super convenient option but you can certainly use another meat.
BBQ Crescent Roll Cups
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease 8 cups of a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a lightly flour surface and pinch the seams together. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough and seal the seams, then cut it into eight squares.
- Press the squares into the muffin pan to form cups.
- Stir together the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce in a medium bowl. Spoon the mixture into the cups.
- Top the chicken with baked beans, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of each cup.
- Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crescent rolls are golden brown.
