Sesame Chicken Toast

This Sesame Chicken Toast recipe is inspired by the classic Chinese appetizer shrimp toast (prawn toast). But it uses ground chicken instead of seafood, and let me tell you, they are amazing! The second best part about this recipe (obviously, taste is the first) is that it's surprisingly easy to make. You'll need just a few simple ingredients, and it only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. A restaurant-quality, crispy, and flavorful appetizer that will impress your friends and family.
