Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons sriracha (adjust according to your heat preference)

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper, finely chopped (your choice of color for presentation)

1 small carrot, finely grated

3 green onions, sliced thinly

1/4 cup water chestnuts, chopped for crunch

1 head of butter or romaine lettuce, leaves carefully separated

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to heat up while you prepare the chicken mixture.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the ground chicken, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, honey, minced ginger, garlic, chopped bell pepper, grated carrot, sliced green onions, and diced water chestnuts. Ensure that all ingredients are mixed thoroughly, so each flavor is evenly distributed.

      Season the Mixture: Taste the chicken mixture and sprinkle in salt and pepper to enhance the flavors to your liking.

        Shape the Chicken Patties: With clean hands, form the mixture into small, even patties or balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one to allow for even baking.

          Bake the Patties: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken patties for 20-25 minutes. Flip them halfway through the baking time for even browning and a crispy texture on top.

            Prepare the Lettuce Leaves: While the patties are baking, wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and gently pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Once the chicken is fully cooked, take it out of the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes to lock in the juices.

              Fill & Serve the Wraps: Place each chicken patty into a lettuce leaf, adding extra green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds as desired. Serve immediately, allowing your guests to make their own personalized wraps.
