What to Serve with Buffalo Chicken Wonton Cups

These wonton cups are a MUST for game day parties. I never have any leftovers when I take these to our football parties! Buffalo Chicken Wontons are the perfect appetizer with a little kick, and they pair beautifully with cool and crunchy sides that balance their spicy, creamy filling. 

• A crisp veggie platter with celery sticks, carrots, and cucumber sticks is a classic choice, providing a refreshing crunch that pairs well with the heat. 
• A creamy blue cheese dressing or extra Ranch dip on the side is a great idea for guests who like a little extra coolness with each bite. 
• For a heartier spread, pair these wontons with sausage balls or pigs in a blanket to round out the flavors. 
• If you’re serving them as part of a party platter, some tangy coleslaw or a simple green salad would add a fresh contrast to these savory bites.

These wontons are versatile and delicious, making them the perfect addition to any game day or gathering!
