Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Combine the cooked chicken, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and honey. Cook for 3–4 minutes until heated through and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
Fold each wonton wrapper in half to form a taco shape. Using tongs, carefully hold each wrapper in the hot oil and fry for 1–2 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a bowl, combine green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, mayonnaise, and sriracha. Toss until evenly coated and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the warm chicken mixture into each crispy wonton shell and top with the prepared slaw.
Serve immediately while the shells are crisp and the filling is warm.

Notes

For a lighter option, bake the wonton shells at 375°F brushed lightly with oil until golden and crisp.

Store chicken filling and slaw separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

Re-crisp wonton shells in a 350°F oven for a few minutes if needed.

Customize with ground turkey, shrimp, mushrooms, or tofu as alternatives.
