How To Make buffalo chicken phyllo wraps

  • 1
    Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Combine chicken and 1/4 cup hot sauce in a shallow dish; marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • 2
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place phyllo sheets on a work surface; cover with a damp towel to keep from drying out.
  • 3
    Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from hot sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in the oil until the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • 4
    Remove from heat; shred.
  • 5
    Combine the shredded chicken, remaining 1/2 cup hot sauce, vinegar, and cream cheese in a large bowl. Stir until creamy. Allow mixture to cool, about 5 minutes.
  • 6
    Remove 1 phyllo sheet from the stack; fold in half lengthwise. Brush lightly with oil. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture at the bottom of the folded phyllo, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • 7
    Fold the bottom of the phyllo over the filling.
  • 8
    Fold in each side.
  • 9
    Roll wrap to the end of the phyllo sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and chicken mixture.
  • 10
    Place phyllo rolls in prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until phyllo is brown and flaky, about 20 to 25 minutes.
