Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups are a delicious, easy appetizer recipe to have on hand for football parties and cocktail parties.
Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups
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 the perfect solution because they’re self-contained and you can scale the recipe easily for however many people you need to serve.
🛒Ingredients needed:
- cooked chicken breast
- cream cheese
- buffalo sauce
- grated cheddar cheese
- wonton wrappers
- scallions
✏️How to make Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups:
*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.
-
Preheat the oven to 350℉. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese, and buffalo sauce until evenly mixed. Then fold in the cheddar cheese.
-
Place a wonton wrapper in each muffin tin cup then distribute the chicken mixture between the cups.
-
Bake for 20 minutes.
-
Remove and let cool briefly before removing and serving. Garnish baked cups with fresh scallions.
➡️Recipe Tips:
- 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.
- 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!
- If you need more, just double or even triple the recipe!
✔️What to do with Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups:
- To me this appetizer just screams football. Make a big batch for a Super Bowl party. Your guests will love you!
- When you have a little leftover chicken, surprise your family with an appetizer on a regular old Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday…
- If you’re more of a pork fan, try making these with pulled pork instead of the chicken.
★How to Store:
Because of the cream cheese in these Buffalo Chicken wonton Cups, any leftovers will need to be stored in the refrigerator. Wrap them tightly and enjoy them the next day. If you have a toaster oven, it’s a great place to warm them up. Otherwise, 5 to 10 minutes in the oven will also work.
❤️Why I love this recipe:
- It’s easy to love a recipe that’s such a crowd pleaser which is a big part of the reason I’m such a fan of these.
- They’re incredibly easy and quick to make and that’s always a win.
- I love that the after party clean-up is easy, too. All that’s left to clean is a plate or platter. Into the dishwasher and I’m done!

This is one of easy appetizers to cook before a game. I also try with other meats and found crab is good, too.
