I love buffalo chicken dip. I only just tasted it about 5 years ago but I am hooked. I make it for many of our parties and I always make a lot so there are leftovers for me. 😉

Today I’ve used my buffalo chicken dip to make these baked buffalo chicken wontons. I baked them instead of deep frying so they are super easy. And I used half of the batch to use as a dip so this is a 2 for 1 kind of recipe.

Wonton wrappers are so versatile and easy to use. Putting the dip into a wonton form makes it easy finger food for a party. So if you are like me and a fan of buffalo chicken dip, you’ve got to try these.

Recipe ingredients I used.

Below you can see the basic ingredients I used to make the recipe dip. I used wonton wrappers, mayonnaise, hot sauce, cream cheese, pickled jalapenos, canned chicken and sharp cheddar cheese.

As you can see I used vegan wonton wrappers which worked find but I would have preferred regular. Note these are wonton wrappers not the larger egg roll wrappers.

Also I used canned chicken. You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken breast.

If you don’t have pickled jalapenos (my hubby has a great pickled jalapenos recipe by the way) you can use canned green chiles as well.

Lastly I used Aldi hot sauce but if you have a favorite buffalo sauce go ahead and use that.

How to make buffalo chicken wontons and dip.

This buffalo chicken dip recipe is probably similar to others you’ve had. I’ve made it all kinds of ways, with taco mix and chiles and now with hot sauce and jalapeños.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and get out a rimmed baking tray. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2: Get out a large mixing bowl. Drain the canned chicken and place in the mixing bowl. Use a fork to separate and shred it. Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well to make your buffalo chicken dip.

Taste the dip to see if it’s hot enough. If not add extra buffalo sauce. 

You will use half of the bowl of the chicken mixture for the wontons and the rest will be just to dip.

Step 3: Take a wonton wrapper and place on a cutting board or other flat surface. Take a teaspoon of the buffalo chicken filling and place it in the middle of the wonton. Dip your finger into a little bowl of water and wet the edges with water.

Fold over the wrapper to make a triangle and press to seal it shut. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Spray more cooking spray on top.

Step 4: Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Check to make sure they are golden brown and not burning. Cooking time may vary depending on how many you have on the tray.

That’s all there is to it! You end up with a crispy, hand held packet of yumminess! If you want a dip for the wontons, you could serve with blue cheese dressing or even ranch dressing but they really don’t need anything.

Step 5: To make just the buffalo chicken dip, place it in a microwave safe bowl and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes. Check to see that it’s starting to brown around the edges and it should be done. If you want you can add extra shredded cheese on top but it doesn’t really need it.

Serve the dip along with tortilla chips or celery pieces. Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It also freezes fairly well.

The leftover wontons might need to crisp up again in the oven. Please scroll down to view the printable recipe card.
