Place a small spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. - Seal the Wontons:
Moisten the edges of each wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or envelope shape, pressing the edges together to seal the wontons tightly. - Fry the Wontons:
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the wontons in the pan. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, so they fry evenly. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once crispy, remove the wontons from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with extra sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
