Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Wontons Recipe Tips

• Quality Ingredients: For hot sauce, use a brand you love with great flavor. The traditional choice would be Frank’s RedHot sauce.
• Cook Chicken Properly: Ensure the chicken is cooked until it’s tender and can be easily shredded. You can poach, bake, or even slow-cook it.
• Seasoning: Don’t just rely on hot sauce. Complement the buffalo flavor with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
• Creaminess: Use cream cheese or blue cheese to add creaminess to the wontons.
• Wonton Wrapping: Ensure the wonton wrappers are fresh and not dried out. If they start to dry, cover them with a damp cloth while assembling.
• Sealing: Use a mixture of cornstarch and water or just plain water to seal the edges of the wontons. Ensure they’re sealed tightly to prevent any leaks during frying.
• Serve with a Dip: A blue cheese dip or ranch dressing pairs perfectly with buffalo chicken flavors. Provide celery sticks on the side for an authentic experience!
• Garnish: For freshness and color contrast, consider sprinkling freshly chopped chives or green onions.
