Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups are a great, easy appetizer recipe to have on hand for football parties and cocktail parties.
Buffalo chicken dip is one of my favorite easy appetizers for a day of sports watching, but it can be kind of a messy serving situation. These wonton cups are great because they are self-contained and you can scale the recipe easily for however many people you need to serve.
How to make Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups:
The recipe starts with the basics: cream cheese, buffalo, and chicken. You can use any chicken for this. Leftovers work fine, or blanch a chicken breast until cooked through, or buy a rotisserie chicken and shred that up!
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese last and then stuff the filling into your wonton wrappers in a muffin tin. You can use either the square or round wonton wrappers. Personally I like the square ones because you end up with really crispy points on each cup.
Bake these guys at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes when they come out!
Add some fresh scallions and you are in business.
Make a few of these and your guests will love you. You’ll also have a super-easy cleanup after the game! What could be better?!
