Frequently asked questions
＋ − Can I make these wontons ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the wontons up to 24 hours ahead and store them covered in the refrigerator. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month and fry directly from frozen.
＋ − What's the best oil temperature for frying?
Maintain the oil at 350°F (175°C) for perfectly crispy wontons. If the oil is too hot, they ll brown too quickly on the outside while remaining cold inside.
＋ − Can I bake these instead of frying?
Absolutely! Brush the wontons with oil and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even browning.
＋ − What can I serve with these wontons?
These pair beautifully with extra tzatziki sauce, Greek yogurt with herbs, or a simple cucumber and tomato salad for a complete Mediterranean experience.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Place chicken breasts in a pot and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 14 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- 2
Drain the chicken and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes until easily handled. Cut into small cubes, then place in a blender and pulse until the chicken is finely chopped and easily scooped with a tablespoon.
- 3
Lay wonton wrappers on a flat work surface. Brush 1 teaspoon of tzatziki sauce over the center of each wrapper. Top with 1 teaspoon of the prepared chicken and 1 teaspoon of crumbled feta cheese. Fold the wrapper over and seal the edges firmly.
- 4
Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the top of each assembled wonton for a beautiful golden finish when fried.
- 5
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Fry wontons in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
