Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • Oil, for frying
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, blue cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well until combined.
  2. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal the wonton.
  3. In a large skillet or deep-fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop the wontons into the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  4. Serve the crispy buffalo chicken wontons warm with ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Optional: garnish with sliced green onions for added freshness and color. Enjoy!
