Game Day Just Got Better with These Buffalo-Style Wonton Pockets
Playoff season calls for snacks that bring the heat, the crunch, and the flavor that makes people fight over the last one. Enter the Buttato Blast—a fried buffalo chicken and cheese-stuffed wonton creation from none other than @bleukitchen. Inspired by the fan-favorite Buffalo Blasts at Cheesecake Factory, this homemade version is even better, and made to flex.
Packed with shredded rotisserie chicken, tangy buffalo sauce, cream cheese, celery, mozzarella, garlic, and bold spices—then wrapped, battered, and fried until golden—these crispy pockets bring maximum crunch with juicy, spicy, cheesy goodness inside. Whether it’s game day, cookout season, or you’re just craving bar food with soul, you need to make these.
