How To Make Buffalo Chicken Rangoons

2️⃣ Prepare the Wontons: Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
3️⃣ Seal the Edges: Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle or pinch the corners together to form a Rangoon, pressing edges tightly to seal. 🥟
4️⃣ Bake: Oven: Bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, or Pan Fry: Fry in oil over medium heat until golden on both sides.
5️⃣ Serve: Serve hot with ranch, blue cheese dressing, or extra buffalo sauce for dipping! 🥣🔥
Buffalo Chicken Rangoons Recipe Tips
✅ Seal Tightly – Use water on the wonton edges to seal well and prevent leaking. 💧🥟
✅ Don’t Overfill – Stick to about 1 tablespoon of filling to avoid bursting. 🥄
✅ Air Fry in a Single Layer – Don’t overcrowd so the rangoons cook evenly and get crispy. 🔥
✅ Spray Lightly with Oil – A quick spritz of oil helps achieve that golden, crunchy texture. ✨
✅ Serve with Dips – Ranch, blue cheese, or extra buffalo sauce takes them to the next level! 🥣🌶️
