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 wontons. 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.

Buffalo Chicken Dip & Wontons Recipe

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. This is my newest rendition and I hope you like it. This recipe makes enough for 24 wontons and a decent size bowl of dip. If you just want to the dip, skip the wontons and microwave for about 5 minutes. Serve along with chips or celery sticks. And if you just want the wontons, go for it. You won’t have to cook the dip in the microwave, just spoon it straight out of the food processor bowl. To make the wontons, you simple put a teaspoon or so of the uncooked mixture in the middle of the wonton. Make sure you don’t put too much or they will get messy and hard to close. Next wet the edges of the wonton with water, fold over and press down to make the edges stick. Bake them for about 8-10 minutes in a  375 degree oven until they are golden brown. That’s all there is to it! You end up with a crispy, hand held packet of yumminess! Well I hope your like this recipe as much as I do. I also recently made Blue Cheese Filled Buffalo Chicken Meatballs for those looking for something lower carb. But this recipe gives you two great dishes to take to a party and would be perfect for the playoffs or the Superbowl. Just remember to make a little extra so you can eat some yourself.  Enjoy!
