Fried BBQ Chicken Pouches
- 1 can (15 Oz. Can) Premium Chunk Chicken
- 1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar
- 1/4 cups Onion, Minced
- 1/2 cups Your Favorite BBQ Sauce, Plus Extra For Dipping
- 1 package (24-count Package) Square Wonton Wrappers
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten With Water For Egg Wash
- 3 cups Oil, For Frying
- In a large bowl mix chicken, cheddar, onion and sauce together well.
- If your chicken is particularly chunky, use a pastry cutter to mince everything down.
- Lay out a few wrappers on a flat surface, making sure to keep the others covered so they dont dry out.
- Drop a rounded teaspoon of chicken filling into the middle of each wrapper.
- Brush all four sides of the wrapper with a little egg wash and bring the sides up around the chicken mixture to form a purse.
- Squeeze the edges together so that they are sealed.
- Continue until all chicken purses are finished.
- Heat oil over medium high heat in a large, heavy, deep vessel such as a deep-sided cast iron skillet.
- The oil should come no more than halfway up the sides, but also be able to submerge a purse in the oil.
- Heat to 350 degrees F or until a piece of dough immediately sizzles when dropped in the oil.
- If the oil starts to smoke, lower the heatits a little too hot.
- Drop each purse into the oil (no more than 5 at a time) and fry until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Continue until all the pouches are done.
- Serve with extra BBQ sauce for dipping!
