Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups
Crispy, baked wonton shells filled with a creamy, cheesy and spicy buffalo chicken dip. A wonderful appetizer for parties and game-day viewing parties.
Ingredients
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup Buffalo sauce (see notes)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup finely shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Blue cheese crumbles for garnish
- sliced green onions for garnish
- Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing for serving
- Celery (optional) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Grease a mini-muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Lightly brush each wonton wrapper with olive oil. Place one wrapper into each well of the muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, Buffalo sauce, and garlic powder.
- Add the shredded chicken and mozzarella. Mix to combine.
- Divide the Buffalo chicken mixture between the wonton cups, filling each one with about 1 tablespoon of the dip mixture.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the wontons are crisp and golden brown and the filling is warmed through.
- Serve the wonton cups immediately, garnished with blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onion or celery, if desired.
Notes
- I recommend Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Sauce for this recipe.
- If you want your wonton cups a little more sturdy or with extra crunch, use two wonton wrappers per cup instead of just one.
- Sour cream lightens the filling and adds some tanginess. If you don’t have sour cream on hand, just use 8 ounces of cream cheese or substitute plain Greek yogurt.
- I’m using shredded rotisserie chicken but any kind of cooked chicken or canned chicken will work.
- You can subsitute Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese for the mozzarella in this recipe.
Storage
These wonton cups are best enjoyed immediately. I do not recommend storing them for later consumption.How to Prep Ahead of Time
- If you need to prep the recipe ahead of time, you can mix up the filling and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake the wonton cups.
- You can also par bake the wonton cups and store them until you're ready to fill them. (See par baking instructions below or here.)
How to Par Bake Wonton Cups
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and bake the empty shells for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove the par baked wonton cups from the oven when they’re crispy, but not browned.
- Store the wonton cups in an airtight container until you’re ready to fill them.
- Return wonton cups to the muffin pan to fill.
- Add the filling and bake at 350℉ for 7 to 10 minutes, until the filling is cooked and the wonton cups are golden and crispy.
