Honey Glazed Fried Wonton Chips

Honey Glazed Fried Wonton Chips are fried wontons sweetened with a honey glaze and garnished with sesame seeds. They are sticky, crispy, crunchy, and delicious! Enjoy as snacks or dessert.

My husband, my kids, and I frequented this Chinese buffet nearby. It had a large selection of food, which was tasty and reasonably priced. The one thing that kept me coming back was the all-you-can-eat crab legs. I always reloaded on seconds and thirds. Over the years, the restaurant quality declined and we stopped going. 

These wonton chips are inspired by another item I enjoyed on the restaurant’s menu, the sweetened fried wontons. I love the simplicity, crunch, and subtle sweetness. The wontons were simply fried, and I suspect they are sweetened with sugar-based syrup. 

My version of the wontons is honey-glazed and garnished with sesame seeds. They are crispy, sweet, sticky, and delicious!

If you take a quick look at this site, you will see that I’m a fan of wonton cooking. These Shrimp Wonton Chips and Pork and Shrimp Fried Wontons are the bomb! And this Pork and Shrimp Wonton Soup makes me feel so warm and cozy!

Here’s how I make these Honey Glazed Fried Wonton Chips!

Recipe highlights:

• Preheat a large skillet to 350°F with 1-inch oil.
• Add 6 to 8 wontons at a time to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd.
• Fry until golden brown, turning wontons over halfway.
• Transfer to a baking sheet equipped with a cooling rack to drain oil.
• Continue frying the remaining wonton wraps.
• Heat honey and butter on the stovetop or the microwave until the butter is melted.
• Brush the top of each wonton with honey mixture. 
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds. 

I have been frying a little more than usual lately, but when the family is looking for a tasty treat to break up the day, fried food is always appreciated around here. I don’t feel completely guilty eating these. After all, there are plenty of honey and sesame seeds to almost qualify the wontons as healthy food.😀

• Use an extra large baking sheet with a cooling rack to drain oil from wonton chips. The rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
• Silicone pastry brush for brushing honey onto wonton chips.
• 12.5-inch frying pan. This one is non-stick and PFOA-free.
• Splatter screen for containing the grease splatter.
