2 Easy Wonton Cup Appetizers to Try This Summer

If you show up at my house for a BBQ or casual get together, you’ll likely find me serving appetizers nestled in a crispy wonton cup. I discovered how easy they were to make a while back and since that time, I’ve been having fun coming up with fun and delicious ways to use them in recipes. Today, I’ve got two appetizer recipes to share with you: Thai Sriracha Chicken Salad Wonton Cups and Beef Madras Wonton Cups. Everyone that has tried them at my place has raved how yummy they are.

Thai Sriracha Chicken Salad Wonton Cups - Fresh, crunchy and spicy! Serve these yummy summer appetizers at your next BBQ.


The Thai Sriracha Chicken Salad Wonton Cups is an “East Made Easy” type of appetizer. Prep the wonton cups ahead of time and set them aside. One thing to note when you are baking them is that they burn easy. Stay close by and keep an eye on them. They can burn in a matter of minutes.

To save on time, I used a bagged Thai salad mix I found in the produce section at my local grocery store. Any type of bagged salad is fine though or if you have fresh garden veggies, make your own.

I also prepared the chicken breast ahead of time. Brush both sides with Blue Dragon Thai Sriracha Chilli Sauce and bake (or grill). Once it has cooled, chop it up into small cubes and mix into your salad.

    Then comes the fun part: the assembly. Fill your wonton cups with salad, drizzle on more Thai Sriracha Chilli sauce and top with green onions and chopped peanuts. It’s spicy, fresh and crunchy. This appetizer never lasts long. Save the leftover salad for another meal or whip up more wonton cups for your guests.

    Another addition to my party food table are these flavourful Beef Madras Wonton Cups. With this appetizer, I was inspired to “Mix in a Little India” with a mouthwatering outcome.

    Expect an explosion of flavour when you take your first bite. I used Patak’s Madras Curry Paste to season the beef and veggies. It comes form the Kerala region in southern India and contains coriander, cumin and red chillies. I also added in some fresh garlic and ginger. For such a tiny, bite-sized appetizer, it sure packs a punch in the taste department.

    You’ll end up with leftover Beef Madras so you can serve it at your next meal with the Thai Sriracha Chicken Salad. Nothing goes to waste!

    Serve these appetizers before the main course to whet everyone’s appetite or save them for later on the evening after the fullness of dinner wears off. They make a fantastic late night snack!
