Save 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 made these Buffalo Chicken Dip Pinwheel Wontons for our last football party and everyone kept asking for the recipe. They disappeared faster than I expected and I now make them every time we host friends.
Ingredients
- Cooked chicken breast: 2 cups, finely shredded

Instructions

- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until creamy.
- Fill wrappers:
- Lay wonton wrappers out on a work surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture along one edge of each wrapper, forming a thin log.

Recipe FAQs
- → Can I prepare the pinwheels ahead of time?

Rotisserie chicken works well as a convenient substitute for shredded cooked chicken breast.
- → How spicy are the pinwheels, and can I adjust the heat?
The heat level comes from buffalo wing sauce, which can be adjusted to taste. Adding cayenne pepper increases the spiciness.
