Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.3333 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp Green onions, thinly sliced
- 30 count Wonton wrappers
- 1 count Egg, beaten
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing (for dipping, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 2
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the buffalo chicken filling in the center of each wrapper.
Step 3
Using a small brush or your finger, lightly wet the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. For extra security, you can pleat or crimp the edges.
Step 4
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the temperature remains consistent.
Step 5
Fry the wontons in small batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Step 6
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried wontons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the Buffalo Chicken Wontons warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, if desired.
