Ingredients

vegetable oil for frying
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
0.25 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1.5 teaspoons hot pepper sauce, or more to taste
20 wonton wrappers

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a bowl, mix the chicken, Cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, melted butter, and hot sauce. Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wontons in half, pressing the edges to seal. Place the wontons on a baking sheet and freeze for 5 to 10 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.
Carefully lower the wontons into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry until they turn a beautiful golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining wontons.
