Spicy Chicken Wontons

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup chopped scallions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 pack of wonton wrappers
  • Water for sealing wontons
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Start by combining the ground chicken, chopped scallions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
  2. To assemble the wontons, take one wonton wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half to form a triangle, and press to seal. Make sure to eliminate any air pockets and ensure a tight seal. You can also create pleats for a decorative touch, if desired.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the wontons in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  4. Fry the wontons until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  5. Serve the spicy chicken wontons hot with your favorite dipping sauce, or a homemade spicy sauce for an extra kick!
