Ingredients

• 6 chicken thighs, cubed
• 1 bag coleslaw mix
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, grated
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
• 1/4 cup hoisin
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
• 12 egg roll or wonton wrappers
• 2 cups neutral oil for frying
• 1/4 cup cilantro
• 2 limes, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine coleslaw, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and 2 tbsp of sweet chili sauce. Toss and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds
3. Heat a pan over medium heat with 1 tsp oil. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until mostly browned.
4. Pour the hoisin sauce mixture over the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken thoroughly.
5. Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (or until it bubbles around a wooden spoon).
6. Fry wrappers one by one: place in oil, fry 5 seconds, flip, and immediately fold into a taco shape using tongs. Fry until golden, about 30–45 seconds total per shell.
7. Drain shells on paper towels, then fill with chicken mixture, slaw, cilantro, extra sweet chili sauce, and a generous squeeze of lime
