Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, finely chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Dash of salt and pepper
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about a teaspoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
  3. Using your finger or a pastry brush, lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  4. Continue this process with the remaining wonton wrappers and chicken mixture.
  5. In a deep pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the wontons into the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally for even frying.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken rangoons from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  7. Serve the chicken rangoons warm with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or any dipping sauce of your choice.
