Honey Glazed BBQ Chicken Puffs Recipe ~ Dana Renee {Style}

As promised, I'm writing up the recipes from my Homemade Dim Sum post. Here is the recipe for the Honey Glazed BBQ Chicken Puffs. These were inspired by the honey roasted chicken puffs from Ping Pong Dim Sum. Although nothing, at least in my opinion, will ever be as good as the original, these come pretty close!

Ingredients:

Puff Pastry (I use Pepperidge Farms located in the freezer section)
2-3 Chicken Breasts
BBQ Sauce of Choice (I've tried them with both Chinese BBQ sauce and a regular sauce, both are tasty!)
Soy Sauce
Salt and Pepper
1 Egg
1 Tbsp. Honey
1 Tsp. Water

Filling:

1. Pan fry or bake chicken breasts.

2. Shred or mince the chicken and return to a a skillet.

3. Add the BBQ Sauce, a small amount of soy sauce, and salt and pepper to your liking.

4. Simmer over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is coated and sauce is warm.

5. Place filling in a bowl and set aside.

Assembling and cooking the puffs:

1. Start by thawing out your puff pastry according to the package instructions and then unfold one sheet on a baking sheet that is either greased or lined with parchment paper.

2. Cut the puff pastry sheet into nine squares.

3. Spoon the filling into the center of each of the squares.

4. Fold one side of the pastry over to the center, then fold over the side slightly overlapping and pressed closed.

5. Flip the puff over and pinch down the sides to seal.

6. Whisk one egg in a small bowl to create an egg wash and using a basting brush coat the tops of the puffs.

7. Thin out 1 tbsp. of honey by adding 1 tsp. of water and whisking in a small prep cup. Use a basting brush to coat the puffs with the honey glaze.

8. Cook for 15-18 minutes until flaky and golden brown

9. Allow to cool, plate, and enjoy!
