Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 48 bites

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chopped chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 cup Frank's hot sauce or wing sauce
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 oz wonton wrappers about one 12-oz package

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray two mini muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, Frank's hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and shredded cheddar until evenly mixed and creamy.
  • Press one wonton wrapper into each greased mini muffin cup, gently pressing to form a cup shape.
  • Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each wonton cup, filling most of the way but leaving a small rim so filling does not overflow.
  • Bake the filled wontons for 18–20 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the wonton wrappers are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish as desired with extra hot sauce and sliced green onions before serving.

Equipment

  • Chef knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Mini muffin pan

Notes

  • Use shredded rotisserie or leftover chicken for convenience.
  • Soften cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Work quickly with wonton wrappers to prevent drying.
  • One 12-oz package of wonton wrappers yields about 48 cups.
  • Mini muffin pans should be well-sprayed to help release wontons.
