Save to Pinterest A crispy, flavorful appetizer featuring spicy buffalo chicken dip rolled in wonton wrappers and baked to perfection. Perfect for parties and game day snacking.
I first made these Buffalo Chicken Dip Pinwheel Wontons for a football night with friends and they disappeared faster than any other dish. The combination of classic buffalo flavors and crisp wonton is always a hit.
Ingredients
- Chicken & Cheese Mixture: 2 cups cooked chicken breast (finely shredded), 120 g (4 oz) cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese, 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce, 2 tbsp ranch dressing, 2 green onions (thinly sliced), 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Assembly: 24 square wonton wrappers, 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash), cooking spray or oil (for baking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined and creamy.
- Fill and Roll:
- Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the buffalo chicken mixture along one edge of each wrapper, forming a thin log. Roll each wrapper tightly into a pinwheel shape. Brush the edges with beaten egg to seal.
- Arrange and Bake:
- Place pinwheels seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray the tops with oil or cooking spray. Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until the wontons are golden and crisp.
- Serve:
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, if desired.
Save to Pinterest My kids love helping roll the wontons and watching them turn golden in the oven. It is always a great family activity before gatherings.

Recipe FAQs
