Step-by-Step Instructions

Marinate the chicken by combining cut pieces with teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Cook the marinated chicken on medium heat in a skillet for 5 to 7 minutes until no longer pink.
Prepare the slaw by mixing coleslaw mix, green onions, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey in a bowl.
Fry wontons in hot oil until golden brown, about 20 to 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the tacos by filling the wonton wrappers with chicken and slaw, then drizzle with sweet chili sauce and garnish.
Serve immediately on a platter for sharing.
