Ingredients
- 1 cup diced cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green onion
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, red bell pepper, green onion, mayonnaise, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally, forming a triangle. Press the edges to seal.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully place the filled wonton wrappers in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the bites from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining wonton wrappers and chicken mixture.
- Serve the hot and tasty bites immediately on a platter, garnished with sliced green onion, and with your favorite dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
