Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

For the Filling:

  • 0.5 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon grated ginger

For the Wontons:

  • 1 package wonton wrappers
  • 0.5 cup water for sealing
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of the wrapper.
  • Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges and remove any air pockets. You can also bring the corners together to form a traditional wonton shape.
  • Repeat with the remaining filling and wonton wrappers.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully place the wontons into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or duck sauce.

Notes

These wontons are best enjoyed immediately after frying. For a healthier option, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
