1/2 cup Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce

24 wonton wrappers
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Grease muffin pan.  In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, wing sauce and 3/4 cup cheddar cheese.  You can soften the mixture slightly in microwave if needed to make it come together.  Stir in chicken.  Start layering your cups.  Press wonton wrapper into the bottom of each muffin tin.  Spoon about a tbsp of chicken mixture, top with another wonton wrapper and add another tbsp of chicken mixture.  Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese and add a little blue cheese.  Bake for 18 minutes or until edges are brown.  Check after 10 minutes, if edges are brown, cover with foil.  Let cool 5 minutes and use a knife to loosen edges and pop out.

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
onion powder to taste

These go really fast, you may need to make more than one recipe.

Ingredients

1 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp parsley
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3 cans Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits

Directions

Mix first 5 ingredients in a large ziplock bag and put off to the side.  Cut each biscuit into 3 strips.  Pull, roll, and tie each strip in a knot.  Bake as directed on biscuit package on a large cookie sheet sprayed with Pam.  As soon as they are out of the oven, pour them into the bag mixture.  Turn often.  Cool completely (I leave the bag open while they are cooling).  Once cool, turn bag to assure they are mixed well, then serve.  Makes 90.
