Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil spray
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (for chips)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika recommended)
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium skillet or saucepan over medium heat, add softened cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and optional blue cheese crumbles. Stir until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Stack wonton wrappers on a cutting board and cut diagonally into triangles. Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping.
  6. In a small bowl, mix olive oil (or use spray) with garlic powder and paprika. Lightly brush or spray the tops of each wonton triangle with the seasoned oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  7. Bake wonton chips for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Watch closely after 5 minutes to prevent burning. Let cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes.
  8. Transfer warm buffalo chicken dip to a serving bowl. Arrange crispy wonton chips around the bowl. Serve immediately while dip is warm and chips are crisp.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and room temperature ingredients. Do not overcook the dip; keep heat low after adding cheese. Wonton chips can burn quickly, so watch them closely. Store dip and chips separately to maintain crispness. Dip can be made a day ahead and reheated gently; make fresh chips before serving.
