Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil spray
  • Extra shredded cheddar (for topping)
  • Extra green onions (for garnish)
  • Blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • Sour cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Make the Buffalo chicken filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Buffalo hot sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and well combined. Fold in the shredded chicken and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Save the remaining 1/4 cup for topping. Stir in the sliced green onions.
  3. Prepare the wonton cups: Lightly spray your mini muffin tin with cooking spray or brush with a little melted butter. Gently press one wonton wrapper into each cup, pushing it down so the edges fan out slightly. Brush each wrapper lightly with melted butter.
  4. Pre-bake the wonton cups: Bake for 5 minutes until the edges start to turn light golden brown.
  5. Fill the cups: Remove the tin from the oven. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, divide the Buffalo chicken filling evenly among the 24 cups. Top each cup with a pinch of the reserved shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake until bubbly and golden: Return the filled cups to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the filling is hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
  7. Cool and garnish: Let the cups cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes. Use a small offset spatula or a butter knife to gently lift each cup out of the tin. Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with extra sliced green onions and blue cheese crumbles if using. Serve warm.

Notes

Pre-baking the wonton cups is essential for crispiness. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Shred your own cheese for best melting. Filling can be made up to 2 days ahead. Assembled cups can be refrigerated up to 4 hours before baking. For air fryer: cook at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
