Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Shells
- 24 wonton sheets
Filling
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella blend works well)
- 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce
Toppings
- Ranch dressing, for drizzling
- Green onions, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a mini muffin baking tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Form Wonton Cups: Press each wonton sheet gently into the cavities of the prepared mini muffin tin, shaping the sheets into small cups that will hold the filling.
- Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheese, and buffalo wing sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fill Wontons: Spoon about one tablespoon of the buffalo chicken mixture into each wonton cup, filling it evenly.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the wontons turn golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the wontons from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle each with ranch dressing and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
- Serve Warm: Serve the buffalo chicken wontons warm as a flavorful appetizer or party snack.
Notes
- You can substitute buffalo wing sauce with your preferred hot sauce for different heat levels.
- Shredded cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend works well in the filling.
- For extra crispiness, you can bake a few minutes longer but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in a warm oven before serving.
- Use gluten-free wonton wrappers to make this recipe gluten-free.
