1. Mix the shredded cooked chicken and softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and evenly combined.

2. Place a small spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges lightly with the egg white, then fold into triangles or small pouches and press firmly to seal.

3. Heat the oil in a deep, heavy pan to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer to check.

4. Fry the wontons in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.

5. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the hot pepper sauce and distilled white vinegar and warm for 2 minutes.

6. Toss the fried wontons in the buffalo sauce until coated, then serve while hot.
