Step 1: Preparation

Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray, then set it aside, and preheat your oven to 375°F. For the buffalo chicken wonton cups, mix the chicken, butter, hot sauce, and blue cheese until combined, and set the mixture aside. For the BBQ chicken wonton cups, mix the chicken and BBQ sauce until combined, and set the mixture aside.

Step 2: Assembly

Lay a wonton wrapper on your hand, then place another wrapper on top but make sure to rotate it so the corners are pointing in all directions, and place it down on a muffin cup. Repeat the steps and fill the rest of the muffin cups, then fill each wonton wrapper cup with the prepared filling, and top them with crumbled blue cheese (for the buffalo) and Monterey jack cheese (for the BBQ)

Step 3: Baking

Put them in the preheated oven, then let them bake for about 10 to 13 minutes or until heated through and golden, and then garnish them with the topping instructed in the ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy!
