Ingredients
9 servings
- •2 tablespoons butter
- •½ cup minced celery
- •12 ounces shredded, cooked chicken breast
- •⅔ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
- •1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- •salt and pepper to taste
- •1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
- •1 quart oil for frying
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the celery in the melted butter until slightly soft, about 5 minutes; transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken, hot sauce, and Cheddar cheese to the cooked celery and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Separate and place the wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or deep pan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Deep-fry several wontons at a time, turning as needed, until lightly browned. Remove to drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
