Once you make my recipe you will become addicted and you will make this time and time again. I don’t know about you but I love Chinese and Thai food and both of those influences come together in this creation, giving you a crunchy small bite that is perfect for any party. Served as a small bite at cocktail parties or you certainly can make much bigger chicken cakes and serve them for dinner with some rice pilaf and stir fried vegetables, but I like them as a small bite. Dip them in a bit of sauce and enjoy with a dry martini and good conversation with friends and family…it will make part of your gathering a memory that your taste buds will be craving.
Now this is party food for sure!
