Made this recipe for a family gathering - they were a hit!! In fact they ignored the other appetizers. I added a little crushed pineapple which made them a moister also tried using phyllo "wraps" which worked niecely.
I made these for a Hawaiian Potluck that our church had. Although I got a few compliments on them I didn't care for them. I thought they were too dry.
We took this to a Luau and it was a hit! Very easy and good.
I used this recipe as a kind of base and made a few changes based on the comments people left in their reviews. Instead of canned chicken I used a couple of boneless skinless chicken breast that I fried up first and then chopped finely. I also added finely chopped ginger garlic red pepper pineapple and coriander which gave it more of a Thai feel. I also added some pineapple juice and soy sauce and just a dash of thai sweet chili sauce. I couldn't find biscuit dough so I used Pillsbury crescent rolls (cut in half) and formed them into little bundles by pinching together the dough at the top. I made them last night for a party and they were a huge hit!
Did not care for this. REAL manapua is better. Yes it's more time consuming but it is sooooooo good.
I made this for my company potluck last week and it was such an embarrassment. People didn't like it and I don't like it either. It is way too dry. I think it is the problem with the dough. It is salty and dry. I made about 50 and 25 left over. Some people took a bite and threw it away. It was awful. I am sorry that I have to say this but it is really not good.
I took this to a Luau. This party included some wonderful cooks and their husbands. The host of the party kept telling his quests that they needed to taste the best appetizer at the party --mine! It was a hit and I will surely make this again.
Made these for a holiday party and they were a huge hit. Since then I have had a few requests to bring them to pot lucks. Taks a little time but worth it.
