Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 8 oz) Chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 3 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 1 large (beaten, for sealing) Egg
- 0.5 cup (optional, for dipping) Ranch or blue cheese dressing
Instructions
Cook the chicken breast in a pot of boiling water for 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked. Allow it to cool slightly, then shred it into small pieces using two forks or your hands.
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until well combined.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper diagonally to create a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal tightly. If desired, bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and press to form a more compact shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, test the oil by dipping a small piece of wonton wrapper into it—it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the wontons in small batches (4-5 at a time) for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even frying.
Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the wontons warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
