If you're looking for a way to spice up your menu with a crispy, crave-worthy appetizer, Buffalo Chicken Wontons are the way to go! These bite-sized flavor bombs combine the zesty heat of buffalo chicken with the crispy perfection of a fried wonton—an irresistible snack that pairs well with a side of ranch or blue cheese. And with the AutoFry®, you can achieve consistently golden-brown, crunchy wontons without the hassle of an open fryer.

Why Add Buffalo Chicken Wontons to Your Menu?

  • Fast & Easy Prep – Made with just a few simple ingredients, these wontons are quick to assemble and cook in minutes.
  • Versatile Menu Addition – Perfect as a shareable appetizer, bar snack, or even a grab-and-go option.
  • Minimal Waste & High Profitability – Portion-controlled and made with cost-effective ingredients, these wontons can boost your bottom line.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • 1 package wonton wrappers
  • Water (for sealing wontons)
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  2. Assemble the Wontons: Place a small spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly brush the edges with water and fold into a triangle or desired shape, pressing the edges to seal.
  3. Fry with AutoFry: Place the wontons in the food entry chute of the AutoFry and input a cook time of 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Close the front food chute and press start.
  4. Serve & Enjoy: When finished, the wontons will dispense from the exit chute. Let them cool slightly, and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Pro Tips for Perfect Wontons:

  • Don’t overfill – Too much filling can cause the wontons to burst during frying.
  • Seal properly – A tight seal ensures the filling stays inside and the wontons crisp up perfectly.
  • Batch Frying – The AutoFry allows for batch frying, so you can cook multiple orders quickly without sacrificing quality.
