Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp water
- 3 cups Hooters Wing Breading
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 8 7 inch square wonton wrappers
- 4 cups canola or vegetable oil

- Blue Cheese Dressing
Instructions
- In a large bowl, blend chicken, mozzarella, and buffalo wing sauce until combined.
- Prepare two breading stations by whisking eggs and water in one bowl and mixing breading, cornstarch, and salt in another.
- Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface and spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center.
- Brush edges of the wrapper lightly with the egg mixture then fold over to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat oil to 350°F in a Dutch oven or deep pan, checking temperature with a thermometer.
- Coat each stuffed wonton by dipping into the breading mixture, then egg wash, and repeat twice more to create a thick coating. Shake off any excess.
- Fry two at a time for about 5 minutes, flipping occasionally until they turn golden brown and flaky.
- Drain finished blasts on a wire rack lined with paper towels placed over a baking sheet, keeping them warm in a 250°F oven while cooking remaining blasts.
- Serve hot with celery sticks, buffalo sauce, and blue cheese dressing for dipping.
