Served with a choice of sauces, these crunchy appetizers are a big hit at parties. They're so popular that my family has even requested them as a main dish for dinner. —Connie Blesse, Auberry, California

Ingredients

  • 3 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped water chestnuts
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 package (16 ounce) wonton wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • Plum or sweet-and-sour sauce

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, carrots and water chestnuts. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, water, soy sauce and ginger until smooth. Add to chicken mixture; toss to coat.
  2. Position a wonton wrapper with one point toward you. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center over filling. Roll toward the remaining point. Moisten top corner with water; press to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
