Ingredients
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil or peanut oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the frying station: Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot ½-⅔ full with your preferred frying oil. Cover a baking sheet with layers of paper towels to drain the chips after frying.
- Heat the oil: Heat the oil to 360°F using an oil or candy thermometer. Maintain the temperature between 350-360°F by adjusting the flame as needed during frying.
- Cut wonton wrappers: Cut the wonton wrappers into triangles. Keep the uncooked wrappers covered with a clean kitchen towel between batches to prevent drying out.
- Fry the chips: Add 6-7 triangle pieces to the hot oil at a time, or more if the pot size allows. Fry for 60-90 seconds until the chips puff up and become deep golden brown. Use a spider or slotted spoon to separate the chips during frying to prevent sticking. Avoid overcrowding to maintain stable oil temperature and avoid oily chips.
- Drain and cool: Remove the fried wonton chips using a spider or slotted spoon and place them on the prepared paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let them cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use a thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature for optimal crispness.
- Do not overcrowd the pot to keep the oil temperature stable.
- You can season the chips with salt or your favorite spices after frying for extra flavor.
- Wonton chips are best consumed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
- Vegetable or peanut oil both work well for frying due to their high smoke points.
