✨ What Are Chicken Empanadas?

Chicken empanadas are a popular dish throughout Latin America, consisting of a flaky golden pastry stuffed with spicy, seasoned chicken filling. This hand-held treat is great as a snack, appetizer, or even a full meal! They are typically baked or fried, which makes them versatile and customizable.
