Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Chicken Wonton Tacos
  1. In a medium bowl, combine sliced boneless, skinless chicken with teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the coleslaw by combining coleslaw mix with green onions, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Toss well.
  4. In a separate skillet, heat oil for frying wonton wrappers. Fry each wrapper for 20-30 seconds until crispy and golden.
  5. Assemble the tacos by filling fried wonton wrappers with chicken and coleslaw. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce and top with sesame seeds and cilantro.
  6. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.
