- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 package of wonton wrappers

Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, hot sauce, cream cheese, green onions, and crumbled blue cheese. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal the wonton.
- In a deep frying pan, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the wontons in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
