The ingredients set out individaully on a bench top.

Wonton wrappers - also known as gow gee wrappers. These are generally located in the chilled pasta section of the supermarket (near the fresh lasagne sheets and ravioli etc).
Chicken - use 1 cup of shredded cooked chicken. You can use my slow cooker buffalo chicken recipe, or a store-bought rotisserie chicken, or poach chicken breasts yourself.
Buffalo sauce - use any brand of buffalo sauce you like, however, I highly recommend Franks Buffalo Sauce.
Cream cheese - I recommend using Philly brand as it's perfect for cooking. You can use light or full fat cream cheese.
Sour cream - you can use either light or full fat sour cream in this recipe.
Cheese - grated. Use tasty, cheddar or Colby cheese.
Blue cheese - you can use a smooth or hard blue cheese in this recipe. It is crumbled and mixed through the filling before baking to give a unique blend to the flavours.
Spring onions - also known as shallots or green onions. Finely slice and use half in the creamy chicken filling and reserve the other half for sprinkling over the top when serving.

Step By Step Instructions

Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

Step 1 - Mix

Place the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, sour cream, half of the grated cheese, crumbled blue cheese and half of the spring onions into a large bowl.

Sour cream, cream cheese, shredded chicken, grated cheese and spring onions in a bowl.

Mix until all of the ingredients are well combined and coated in the sour cream and cream cheese.

If using a Thermomix - grate the cheese for 10 seconds on Speed 8. Add the remaining ingredients and mix for 10 seconds on Reverse, Speed 4, or until combined.

All ingredients mixed together in a glass bowl.

Step 2 - Par Cook The Wonton Wrappers

Spray the holes of a regular-sized muffin tin with cooking spray.

Gently press one wonton wrapper into each of the holes.

Bake wrappers for 10 minutes or until lightly golden.

Step 3 - Bake

Divide the chicken filling between the par cooked wonton wrappers.

Top with the remaining grated cheese.

Crispy bases filled with mixture and sprinkled with cheese, ready to be baked.

Bake for 10 minutes or until the chicken is hot in the centre and the cheese has melted.

Serve immediately with extra spring onions and hot sauce or buffalo sauce (optional).

Expert Tips

For the most EPIC flavour-packed wonton cups, use my Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken recipe for the shredded chicken.
Choose a good quality buffalo sauce - I recommend Franks brand buffalo hot sauce - it's the original and the best!
Ensure the chicken filling is very hot in the centre before consuming.
If you'd like to make mini wonton cups, you can use a 24 hole mini muffin tin and place 1 wonton wrapper into each hole (just like I do with my Jalapeno Popper Wonton Cups).
My buffalo chicken wonton recipe is best served immediately... straight out of the oven while the creamy filling is oozy, cheesy and warm!
Store leftover baked buffalo chicken wonton cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the oven until the filling is piping hot in the centre.
Save time and plan ahead by par cooking the wonton cups ahead of time. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
