Would you nibble on these Chicken Sausage Pigs (or chicks) in a Blanket?
What about these Chinese Lap Cheong Pigs in a Blanket? With some delicious Homemade Thai Sweet Chile Sauce.
Pigs in a Blanket are the quintessential party food. They are bite sized treats. Savory chunks of meat, rolled in flaky dough and baked to a golden brown. What’s not to love?
These pigs in a blanket are for grown folks, in other words, no kids allowed! Well, actually kids will probably love them too, but I think they will shine brightest being passed on a tray at a cocktail party. Or maybe I just like cocktail parties.
Lap Cheong is a dried Chinese sausage easily found in Asian markets. Because it is dried, an unopened package can last for a year on the shelf. Once opened they need to be refrigerated. If you do not have access to an Asian market, you can find the sausages for sale online.
I used a chicken sausage flavored with spinach and garlic, but almost any chicken or turkey sausage will work.
Hot pepper jelly can be found in most supermarkets. I used a delicious Hatch Chile Pepper Jelly I had in my pantry.
