A spicy twist on the classic crab rangoon, these buffalo chicken rangoons combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, and buffalo sauce, all wrapped in a crispy wonton shell. They're perfect for parties, game days, or as a savory snack.
Full Recipe:
1 boneless chicken breast, fully cooked and shredded
12 oz package wonton wraps
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup buffalo sauce (not hot sauce)
2 green onions, minced (white portion only)
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil for frying
Cook the Chicken:
Place the chicken in a medium saucepan with cold water to cover.
Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
Simmer for 15–17 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove and shred using a fork until finely shredded.
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, minced green onions, and garlic powder (if using).
Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Assemble the Rangoons:
Place a wonton wrap on a flat surface.
Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the buffalo chicken filling into the center.
Wet all four edges of the wonton with water using your finger.
Fold the wonton over into a triangle, pinching the edges to seal the rangoon together around the perimeter.
Fry the Rangoons:
Heat 2 inches of oil in a saucepan over high heat until it reaches approximately 360°F (182°C).
Place 5–6 rangoons in the oil at a time.
Fry until golden, about 20–30 seconds per rangoon, flipping if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain and cool.
