💡 Expert Tips
- 1.Cool filling completely. Hot filling tears the dough.
- 2.Dry filling. Wet filling soggs the pastry.
- 3.Seal edges firmly with egg wash. Prevents leaks.
- 4.Hot oven, no peeking. Puff pastry needs uninterrupted heat.
🔬 Why It Works
Chicken patties succeed because the creamy chicken filling (béchamel-based) inside the flaky puff pastry creates the perfect bite-sized comfort food. The cool dry filling preserves the pastry's puff; the egg wash seals and browns.
