Notes

Here are some tips to make you cook Cheesecake Factory samosas chicken successfully:
  • Keep the dough and filling covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out while assembling the samosas.
  • Do not overfill the samosas or the dough will tear and the filling will spill out.
  • Make sure the oil is heated to the correct temperature to ensure the samosas cook evenly and are crispy.
  • Drain excess oil from the samosas by placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to prevent them from becoming greasy.
