Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • vegetable oil for frying

  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken

  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

  • 1 ½ teaspoons hot pepper sauce, or more to taste

  • 20 wonton wrappers

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Combine chicken, Cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, butter, and hot sauce in a bowl. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of chicken mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper; fold wontons in half and press to seal. Arrange wontons on a baking sheet and freeze for 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. Lower wontons carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining wontons.
