Receta Chipotle Chicken and Caramelized Onion Wontons
Chipotle Chicken and Caramelized Onion Wontons
This recipe is inspired by one of my favorite appetizers, buffalo wings. I love the zing of the hot sauce , muted only by the cooling creaminess of the Bleu Cheese or Ranch dressing, followed by the snapping crisp crunch of celery. This recipe is easy to assemble and may easily be adjusted depending on crowd size. Sweet Asian Chili Sauce really adds to the overall effect and packs a mean punch of heat to pair with the smoky hot of the chipotle and the sweet heat of the sriracha, but feel free to adjust the heat to your desired level. This dish rivals any pub style wing fare, no bones about it!
