Recipe Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine chicken strips, Tabasco brand Garlic Pepper Sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, cilantro and garlic. Cover and let stand at least 15 minutes. (The chicken filling can be prepared one day ahead and refrgerated.)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Melt butter with Tabasco brand Pepper Sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Cut phyllo sheets in half to make two 12- by 8 1/2-inch sheets. Butter one side of each sheet with Tabasco brand Pepper Sauce/butter sauce mixture and fold over again to make 12- by 4 1/4-inch sheets. Cut folded sheet in half to make two equal pieces, 6 by 4 1/4 inches.

Spoon 1 teaspoon of chicken mixture onto each piece. Fold over twice and then wrap sides around chicken and seal with a little butter to form a rectangular package approximately 2 by 1 inch. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and chicken mixture.

Place chicken packets on baking sheet. Brush with remaining Tabasco brand Pepper Sauce/butter sauce mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Serve warm.
