Preparation

Prepare the Chicken Filling

1. Cook the chicken

In a skillet over medium heat, add ground chicken, garlic, and ginger. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Mix in peanuts and green onions

Remove from heat and fold in chopped peanuts and sliced green onions.

Prepare the Wontons

1. Fry the wontons

In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry wonton wrappers until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Make the Spicy Aioli

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.

Assemble the Wraps
