You've come to the correct place if you're sick of appetizers that are trickier to put together than the main course. These flavor-filled, incredibly easy-to-assemble wonton cups are filled with peanut chicken. This simple two-bite appetizer consists of tender shredded rotisserie chicken coated in a spicy-sweet peanut sauce, wrapped inside a crispy baked wonton shell, and garnished with colorful, crunchy vegetables.

Ingredients:

  • Cooking spray 
  • 24 wonton wrappers

  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1/4 c. hoisin
  • 1 Tbsp. chili crisp
  • 4 Tbsp. fresh lime juice, divided
  • 12 oz. chopped rotisserie chicken meat
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled, grated
  • 1 red Fresno chile, seeded, chopped medium carrot, peeled, grated
  • 3 c. shredded green or purple cabbage 
  • 1/2 c. thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 c. fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt



Directions:
