Party Snacks: Wontons 3 Ways with with the Philips Turbostar Digital Airfryer
The World Cup is on and that means it’s time to roll out the snack table. Previously, I’ve just doled out bowls of chips and some deep fried goodies and called it a day. This year, I wanted to step it up a notch – I wanted something that meets that satisfying crunch but is a bit more filling and healthier! This is where my new handy-dandy Philips Airfryer steps in! I decided to air fry filled wontons so they’ll have that comforting crunch while being filling.
WHAT IS AN AIRFRYER?
The Philips Turbostar Digital Airfryer is a very convenient kitchen appliance that mimics the results of deep frying with nothing more than hot air and little to no oil. Air-frying with the Philips Turbostar Airfryer takes just a tablespoon of oil to achieve a similar taste and texture to deep-fried foods so you don’t have to dunk your food in a batch of hot oil. Definitely a kitchen appliance you want in your arsenal.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE THESE THREE DIFFERENT AIR FRIED WONTON PARTY SNACKS
For the Stuffed Crab Wontons you’ll need
- wonton wrappers
- light cream cheese
- imitation crab or real crab meat
- soy sauce
- garlic
For the Sriracha Chicken Wontons you’ll need
- wonton wrappers
- shredded chicken
- sriracha
- honey
Inspired by mini corndog bites, for these Mini Wonton “Corn Dogs” you’ll need
- wonton wrapped
- hot dogs
- cheese
And for all the recipes, you’ll need an egg to make a “seal” for the wonton wrappers.
How to Make these airfryer stuffed wonton party snacks
Here are the step by step photos on how to make these wonton air fryer snacks:
Stuffed Crab Wontons:
- mix together your crab meat, cream cheese, soy sauce, and garlic
- place your mixture in the middle before brushing the edge of your wonton wrapper with egg
- pull the the corners up and pinch them together
- place them into the airfryer for 4 minutes at 375F after giving them a light spritz of oil (no preheating is required!)
Sriracha Chicken Wonton:
- mix together your shredded chicken, sriracha sauce, and honey
- place the filling on half of the wonton wrapper before brushing the edges with egg
- fold it into a triangle
- place them into the airfryer for 4 minutes at 375F after giving them a light spritz of oil
- after 4 minutes, can simply remove – no need to turn/ rotate the wontons because of the even cooking
Mini Wonton “Corn Dogs”
- cook your hot dog either using the airfryer or by boiling it and cut it into quarters
- place the hot dog onto the wonton wrapper with a pinch of cheese (not too much or it’ll explode!)
- brush the edge with some egg and proceed to roll it like you would a spring roll (top corner down then fold in the sides)
- place them into the airfryer for 5 minutes at 375F after giving them a light spritz of oil (no preheating is required!)
Can These Fried Wonton Snacks be Frozen?
They can be! Freeze these air fryer wonton for up to 3 months in a freezer friendly bag or container. When ready to enjoy, reheat the wontons in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 350F straight from the freezer or until it has been warmed through.

Ooo I love crab rangoons, and those crab wontons look delicious! I usually skip wontons and rangoons because of all the grease, but the air fryer is a brilliant idea! I really need to get one. I want to make fries in it too!
Tracy Koslicki
Oh my gosh these look SOOO good. Sriracha chicken, please!! And I’ve never used an air fryer, but I’m realizing I’m totally missing out! Your wonton wrapper skills are impressive, I’m terrible with them, but I’ll have to give it another try with these great recipes!!
Stef
I’ll take the crab ones! Love all of the options with different shapes too. So fun and easy! I don’t have an air fryer, but now I’m thinking that I need one!
Gloria
These are party perfect. Looks like that fryer does a great job. Crispy wonton appetizers are always a hit at any function. I can imagine these would disappear fast off the party tray.
Marisa Franca
What a great idea. We do like our fried foods but we don’t make them very often. We try to watch our fat intake but having an air fryer would definitely be an ideal way to get in the taste of fried without all that oil. Your wonton party snacks look amazing. They’d be snarfed up in a minute at our house.
Amanda
I love the idea of an air fryer, especially in applications like this. I love wonton appetizers, but they are usually deep fried and sooooo greasy. This helps with all of that. I’ve been kind of on the fence about getting one, but this is definitely tempting me into taking the plunge!
Amy Nash
The crab ones look so yummy! I have never used an airfryer but the results look amazing! And it would be so great to not have to worry about heating up all the oil in a deep fryer!
Kathy McDaniel
All of these look so amazing! I don’t think I could pick just one. I have never used an airfryer but I think I may need to consider getting one soon just so I can try these party perfect appetizers!
Dana
These sound ridiculously amazing, Carmy! Especially the crab and the chicken ones, since I’m a sucker for both crab *and* Sriracha. I’m also obsessed with the fact that these are made in an air-fryer because a) I have one that I never seem to use, and b) the last time I tried to pan-fry wontons they all fell apart on me :(
I’m totally trying this!!
Donna
Oh my goodness, these look amazing, and I love that they are made in the airfryer so they are so much healthier than something deep fried. I am a wee bit obsessed with my airfryer! Wish I could whip these up for the world cup, all the games have been at 7 or 9am where we are so I have been serving up breakfast foods which is kind of weird at a sports party :)
Sean
I’m eternally conflicted by my desire to eat fried stuff and my desire to be healthy. Lol. So I have to say, these air-fryers are realllllly starting to call to me. I don’t fry food all that often at home (maybe that’s a good thing?) but I’m amazed by the results that these air-fryers can achieve. I mean, seriously, everything here looks spectacular. Those crab wontons in particular are just… wow. Now, to figure out where exactly I could fit another kitchen gadget….
Amanda
I love this post! We got a Philips Airfryer around Christmas and I’ve been looking for new and yummy things to make in it ever since. I can’t get over how crispy everything comes! I swear, the fries are just as crispy as they are made in the deep fryer. We often like to have little nibbles when watching our favorite Netflix series’, so I think I’ll be making up all 3 of these wontons the next time we watch!
Dawn Harris
I don’t even have an air fryer, but I imagine wontons are the perfect thing to break one in making. I’ve been toying with the idea of another countertop contraption, but man, I can’t decidr between the sriracha chicken or the stuffed crab wontons and now I want to go get an air fryer to try!!! These looks amazing!
Caroline @ Pinch Me, I'm Eating!
These sound so good! I never met a wonton I didn’t like! I don’t have an air-fryer but it’s very tempting… or maybe I’ll make some the old-fashioned way.
