These Buffalo Chicken Wontons are a deliciously crispy appetizer featuring shredded chicken mixed with cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, and green onions, all wrapped in wonton wrappers and deep-fried to golden perfection. Served hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing, they make the perfect spicy and creamy finger food for parties or game days.

Ingredients

Scale

Buffalo Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped

Wontons and Frying

  • 1 package of wonton wrappers (about 48 wrappers)
  • Cooking oil (for frying)
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined to create a creamy, spicy filling.
  2. Fill the wontons: Lay a few wonton wrappers out on a clean surface. Place about a teaspoon of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each wrapper to avoid overfilling.
  3. Seal the wontons: Moisten the edges of each wonton wrapper with a little water to help seal them. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, and firmly pinch the edges to seal. For an attractive finish, you may twist the edges for a decorative look.
  4. Heat the oil: Pour cooking oil into a deep frying pan or pot and heat it over medium-high heat until hot enough for frying (about 350°F or 175°C).
  5. Fry the wontons: Carefully place a few wontons at a time into the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
  6. Drain and serve: Remove the cooked wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve them hot alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spice level to your preference.
  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent soggy wontons.
  • You can bake the wontons at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes for a healthier alternative.
  • Leftover filling can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • If you do not have ranch or blue cheese dressing, a simple sour cream dip can be used.
