Photo: Blazing Buffalo Bites Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Oil, for coating pan, plus more for frying
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
- 1 package blue cheese
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- Water
- 1/2 cup sweetened balsamic vinegar
- Ranch dressing, for serving
Directions
Dice the chicken into small cubes, (about the size of your pinky nail). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat and coat the bottom with a little oil. Add the chicken and saute until cooked through. Put the cream cheese, blue cheese and buffalo sauce in a food processor and process until combined. Add the chicken and pulse to combine but still coarsely chopped.
Lay out an even number of wonton wrappers (10 should be enough). Spoon 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture in the center of a wrapper and brush the edges with water. Cover with another wrapper and crimp the edges so they are tightly sealed. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Pour enough oil, about 1 1/2 inches, into a heavy-bottomed pot. Once the oil is hot add the wrappers, in batches if necessary, and fry until the outside is light and crispy. Remove to paper towels to drain. Arrange the bites on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve with ranch dressing and enjoy.

Hey Jenn, maybe they taste different then cheesecake factory because they are different. Or, maybe they are an easy way to get the delicious treat at home. Either way, who cares... the negativity of yours is unnecessary. Thanks to food network for providing this recipe idea.

We made these tonight and they turned out great. They were really big when we followed the recipe though, so maybe we bought unusually large wontons. A teaspoon of the chicken mixture didn't seem like quite enough to fill the wrappers enough for us- it tended to melt onto the insides in a thin layer leaving a big pillow of air inside. After deciding to just fold the wrappers in half, it seemed like a much better proportion of filling to wonton. (And also seemed closer to the "bite" size hinted at by the recipe title The flavor overall was really good, but I'm guessing that has a lot to do with the quality of buffalo sauce. We used Frank's Buffalo Wing as well and while I wouldn't classify the heat as blazing, it did have a decent bite to it in this recipe. They disappeared fast and we plan on making them again. Our 18 month old even loved munching away on these and he hasn't shown an interest in anything spicy before.
