Chicken Wontons

These Chinese Fried wontons are so crispy from the outside with juicy and delicious chicken filling! It is small bite-size parcels which are so yum with very little effort. The flavors of garlic, spring onion along with some sauces and chicken is too good. You can use also prawn mince filling here which will be more yum!

Here it’s quite normal for anyone to doubt if, the raw minced chicken filling will cook through, isn’t it?  Yes, even I had the same doubt and I can say, yes it will! You only have to take care of the flame which should be on medium-low. If the oil is on high temp the sheet will cook fast and the stuffing inside will remain raw. Still, if you are not convinced then you need to cook the minced chicken, but i love to see that kebab like bonded chicken inside when we bite it!

We loved it, even my younger one who’s a picky eater had it happily!l I loved the crispy outside! You will need a good amount of garlic and spring onion here to make it delicious! Next in my list is momos the steamed version of these dumplings! I don’t know why I can’t collect the courage to make it!
