Looking for a snack that’s both deliciously indulgent and surprisingly easy to make? Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wontons might just be your new go-to recipe. Combining the spicy kick of buffalo sauce with the comforting flavors of ranch and cheese, these wontons are a perfect appetizer for any occasion. And the best part? They’re made in an air fryer, offering a healthier alternative to the deep-fried version without compromising on that irresistible crispy texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rotisserie chicken, finely shredded
- 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
- ⅛ cup buffalo sauce, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
- 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten with one tablespoon water
- 19 wonton wrappers, store-bought or homemade
- Cooking spray
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
Directions:
- Preparation: Start by preheating your air fryer to 370°F (187°C). Make sure to coat the basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the wontons from sticking.
- Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed and the mixture is uniform.
- Assemble the Wontons: Take a wonton wrapper and place about 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center. It’s important not to overfill to ensure the wontons can be sealed properly. Moisten the edges of the wrappers with the egg wash, fold them in half diagonally, and press firmly to seal the edges.
- Air Fry: Arrange the wontons in a single layer in the air fryer basket. To avoid sticking and to achieve that golden, crispy texture, spray the tops of the wontons lightly with cooking spray. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches. Air fry the wontons for 3 minutes, then flip them, spray again, and continue to air fry for another 2 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, serve the wontons hot, drizzled with extra buffalo sauce, and accompanied by ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. The combination of the spicy and tangy flavors with the crispy wonton wrappers makes for a truly mouthwatering experience.
