Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rotisserie chicken, finely shredded
- 2 oz (56 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- ¼ cup (28 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp dry ranch seasoning
- 1/8 cup (30 ml) buffalo sauce
- 2 tbsps buffalo sauce for topping
- 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water
- 19 wonton wrappers, store-bought or homemade
- Cooking spray
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat air fryer to 370°F and spray basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent adhesion.
- Filling Creation: Combine shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl, blending until ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Wonton Assembly: Position a small portion of chicken mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper, leaving adequate space around edges for sealing. Brush wrapper edges with egg wash and fold diagonally, pressing firmly to create a tight seal.
- Air Frying Setup: Arrange wontons in a single, non-overlapping layer within the air fryer basket. Lightly mist tops with cooking spray to promote even golden browning.
- Cooking Process: Air fry for 3 minutes, then carefully flip wontons and spray with additional cooking oil. Continue air frying for 2 more minutes until crisp and golden.
- Serving: Drizzle extra buffalo sauce over wontons and accompany with ranch or blue cheese dressing for enhanced flavor and dipping experience.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking: Mist the air fryer basket with nonstick spray to ensure easy removal and clean cooking surface.
- Filling Balance: Use exactly 2 teaspoons of chicken mixture to avoid overfilling, which can cause wrapper seal failure.
- Seal Technique: Brush wrapper edges with egg wash and press firmly to create a tight seal, preventing filling leakage during cooking.
- Crispy Coating: Lightly spray wontons with cooking oil before and during air frying to achieve even, golden-brown crispiness.
