Hoo, mama. I was looking for a light but yummy appetizer recipe with an Asian feel. Since it's the beginning of a new year and everyone is trying to behave and eat light, I went to my most trusted recipe source - Cooking Light. I found this recipe called Baked Hoisin Chicken Buns. Now, I love hoisin and I love chicken, so I checked it out. It even called for sprinkling sesame seeds on the top before baking. It sounded really good!
But it was light, I wasn't looking for a miracle.
It was delicious! I was so pleasantly surprised!! The flavors were perfect together. The only change I made to the recipe was the dough. I couldn't find frozen roll dough so I bought a can of refrigerated round crescent roll dough. We actually cut back on the amount of filling it called for so that they wouldn't explode. And we just folded them in half and crimped the edges with a fork, making a little Asian hoisin chicken pie. They were really, really good! (We have lots of leftover filling mix so guess what's for dinner tomorrow night??)
P.S. They got better as they cooled down. So leave yourself time after baking to let them sit for 10 or 15 minutes before serving.

We had a couple of friends over Saturday night (hi guys!) and decided to use them as guinea pigs for a new appetizer we wanted to make - Baked Hoisin Chicken Buns. Let's see, Baked? Baked is nice. Hoisin? I love me some hoisin! Chicken? What's not to love about chicken? And buns. Hey, everyone likes a nice bun now and again, right? So, it seemed that we couldn't possibly go wrong. Usually, that's when everything goes wrong.
Not this time, though. I thought these were terrific! Delicious and easy to eat. Heck, they were even pretty fun to make. Not difficult and I got to shred. Oh how I love to shred. The Meester even brought over some hot sauce which we tried and that was good too. So if you want to try something a little different than the standard appetizer, I would strongly recommend these. I think they'd be perfect at your Super Bowl party!

That's something I'd love to try. And working with crescent rolls sounds like a good way to go. I suppose there was no "let rise" time that way. Correct? And did you by any chance take pictures of this creation. It would be nice to know what they look like.

Before I can make them, I have to go to the grocery store for nearly everything on the list.
