The filling is typically savory, with the chicken providing a satisfying texture and flavor. The wrapper is intended to become golden and crisp when cooked.
How people cook with it

To prepare these chicken nems, they are typically cooked in a hot oven or a deep fryer until they are golden brown and crispy. Baking is a common method, where they are placed on a baking sheet and heated until the wrapper is fully cooked and the filling is warm. Frying offers a quicker cooking time and can result in an extra-crispy exterior. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving to enjoy their best texture and flavor. They are often served with a dipping sauce.
