- When making the chicken filling for the dumplings, be sure to use ground chicken thigh instead of breast. Thigh meat is more flavorful and juicy, and it will hold together better in the dumplings.
- To get the perfect dumpling wrapper, use a dough that is thin and pliable. You can either make your own dough from scratch or use store-bought dumpling wrappers.
- When cooking the dumplings, be sure to use a large pot of boiling water. This will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking together.
- Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili sauce, or vinegar.
