Layered Sweet and Sour Asian Dip with Fried Wonton Dippers
I’m in full tailgate recipe development mode! This year, we need a little pizzazz in our regular tailgating recipes, so I decided to try recipes early.
I developed this Layered Sweet and Sour Asian Dip with fried wonton dippers and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. It’s everything a dip should be: creamy, tangy, and with a little crunch from the veggies on top.
Ingredients and Subs
I used a rotisserie chicken, but this recipe would be a great way to use leftover chicken. You could even use canned chicken if you desire.
I also used a store-bought sweet and sour sauce. As I said, I wanted a super delicious but very easy recipe. Tailgating recipes should be easy and delicious!
With rotisserie chicken, cook time on this appetizer recipe is low. You can use any leftover chicken, but I love a rotisserie chicken.
Layer the ingredients in a large, shallow dish, heat through, and you’re ready to serve.
It’s just that quick!
This dip is great for any party or potluck function. It also makes a great game-day appetizer because it’s so unique. You won’t have to worry about someone showing up with the same dip (most likely).
I love this with fried wonton wrappers, but if you don’t have time to fry them (they are time-consuming), purchase tortilla chips instead.
Sweet and Sour Asian Dip Final Thoughts

I would like to have the Grillware Square Griddle w/ Handles
I LOVE this, Paula!! Such a great party idea. Pinned!
Thanks Claire!
This sounds freaking awesome Paula! Why don’t we live closer so we have having cooking dates and eat each other’s food?
I swear we need too! How much fun would that be?!! We’d get in trouble 😉
I like the sizzle skillet!
Ooooh, I am OBSESSED with this. And it’s totally not helping my Chinese food craving that I’ve been resisting for a week. I want a huge bowl of this!
Thanks Amanda! Can I just say, I ate it as my meal twice!
I would love the Rose Divided Tray – what a great way to serve veggies fresh from the garden with a yogurt dill dip…
Yes, I like that one too Patricia!
I would love to have the grillware griddle or the jalepeno pan, or the sizzle skillet!! All 3 would be good additions to my kitchen/grill!
This sounds so good, I’m going to halve it and try it next weekend, for a taste test that is (wink, wink)….
The pan looks perfect for the type of cooking I do – thanks for sponsoring the giveaway!
I did like the looks of the grillware square with handles and would like to try it.
