Yield::20 wontons
Ingredients
vegetable oil for frying
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 ½ teaspoons hot pepper sauce, or more to taste
20 wonton wrappers
Directions
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine chicken, Cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, butter, and hot sauce in a bowl. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of chicken mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper; fold wontons in half and press to seal. Arrange wontons on a baking sheet and freeze for 5 to 10 minutes.
Lower wontons carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining wontons.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
