Main Dish
I am not a huge fan of typical egg rolls, but I love these and so did everyone else at my house! We had our neighbors Tim and Maureen over for a little bit before watching football and we all loved having these egg rolls. I made them with a hoisin sauce sweet and sour sauce. However this sauce is not super sweet, so you can certainly serve them with your favorite duck sauce or sweet no sour sauce! Although I don’t typically deep fry, I will be making these again! In one word that we all agreed on…delicious! I think Maureen may have said she could lick the plate! These are simple and tasty!
INGREDIENTS
Egg roll wrappers
1 rotisserie chicken, meat pulled from the bone.
1 Tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces of coleslaw mix
1 package of McCormick Sesame chicken Stir-fry Sauce
Vegetable oil to fry
HOISIN SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE INGREDIENTS
4 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
DIRECTIONS
To make the hoisin sweet and sour sauce, mix all ingredients together until well blended. Store in fridge until ready to serve.
For the Sesame Chicken Egg Rolls, preheat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, add the pulled rotisserie chicken meat and the slaw mixture and combine. Add the McCormick sauce. Stir until it is well incorporated and everything has warmed through. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly until easy to handle. Heat vegetable oil to medium to medium high heat using a large deep and wide pot. You will want about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil. Using one egg roll wrapper at a time, add about two tablespoons (more or less) to the egg roll wrapper and wrap according to package directions. Do this until all of the chicken mixture has been used. When your oil is hot (I use the end of a wooden spoon by dipping the narrow end of the spoon in the oil and if the oil bubbles up around the wooden spoon, the oil is hot enough). Adding a few egg rolls in at a time, fry until golden brown turning the egg roll over making sure all sides get browned. Once browned remove from oil and drain on a paper towel. Do this until all of the egg rolls are complete. If you want to keep them warm while all of them fry, you can place a cooling rack on a baking sheet and place the egg rolls on top and into warm oven. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.

I have made Chinese chicken where you have to cut the chicken, batter the chicken, fry the chicken, make the sauce and finally bake the chicken for an hour. Although that recipe is pretty good, but extremely time consuming and the batter does not always stay on the chicken. So that is why I made this cheater version using ready made frozen popcorn chicken! This recipe is super simple…make the sauce, coat the chicken and bake! Really that simple! This recipe came with mixed reviews. I will say everyone really enjoyed it but a couple of us, me included, felt it was a little too salty. Next time I am going to try adding more honey and less soy and I think it will make a difference. Then it will be loved by all!! I will update this post with the results when I make it gain!!
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 bag of frozen popcorn chicken
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven according to package directions. In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together except the chicken. Once well combined, add half the bag of your frozen popcorn chicken coating all of the chicken with the sauce. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions, stirring at least one time during baking.
Remove from oven and serve warm with the easy fried rice!
Enjoy!
I don’t know many people that don’t like the sweet and sour chicken from their favorite Chinese food place. How can you not love sweet crispy chicken? This recipe is definitely on the super sweet side so with that being said everyone enjoyed this but everyone said it was definitely on the sweeter side. I actually made this the same night I made the honey soy chicken and funny enough, everyone loved having both a sweet and salty chicken together! This sauce does not thicken as much as the honey soy chicken so if you like extra sauce you can make it as written if you want it to thicken up go ahead and add 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch to the sauce.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of granulated sugar
4 Tablespoons of ketchup
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 bag of frozen fully cooked popcorn chicken
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven according to the chicken package. In a large bowl mix all ingredients together except the chicken. Once mixed well, add 1/2 of the bag of popcorn chicken. Coat the chicken with the sauce and place the chicken on a baking sheet. Bake according to package directions stirrring at least once throughout the baking. When chicken is cooked through and baked according to package directions remove from oven and serve warm.

It’s Fall, the weather is cooling down and football is here!! Ya know what that means at my house? Game day snacks and appetizers! My favorite thing to make is appetizers and we really enjoyed this pizza! We enjoyed it so much I made it the next day too!! This pizza is sweet from the sun dried tomatoes and the salt from the capers, but the best thing about this snack is that it only takes about ten minutes to make!!
Note – The ingredient amounts are per pizza. You can use as many or as little as you would like.
INGREDIENTS
1 flour tortilla
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon tomato sauce
1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon sun dried tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon capers
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
1 Tablepoon finely sliced red onion
Salt
Pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread olive oil over tortilla using the back of a spoon. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the olive oil layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan cheese over the sauce followed by the sun dried tomatoes, capers, garlic and onions. Place tortilla directly on the oven rack and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the edges of the tortilla are browned but not burnt. Mine took 6 minutes! Remove from ove, slice and serve warm!

I came across this recipe a few weeks ago and for the chicken it used a rotisserie chicken, but sadly when I went to the store they did not have any. So I changed things up a bit and used frozen crunchy chicken tenders! We liked the crunch that it brought to the sliders! This recipe comes together quick and would be a great game day item for sure!!
INGREDIENTS
1/2 bag of Tyson crispy chicken tenders
1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup wing sauce, I used Frank’s
A splash of Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon of cornstarch
8 slider rolls
GORGANZOLA SLAW
1/2 bag of shredded coleslaw mix
1 jar of Marie’s Coleslaw Dressing or your favorite slaw dressing
1 green apple, chopped
3/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Bake the chicken according to package directions. Melt the stick of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and the cornstarch whisking until smooth and the sauce has thickened. When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and dice the chicken into bite size pieces. Add the chicken pieces into the sauce and coat all of the chicken with the buffalo sauce. For the slaw,add all of the ingredients into a bowl mixing until well combined. To put the sliders together simply place some of your chicken on the bottom slider bun, top with slaw and add the top bun and serve!
Enjoy!
