Island Sauce

  • 1/3 cup mayonaisse
  • 1/2 TBSP mustard
  • 1/2 TBSP soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

pulled chicken

  • Place chicken in a pressure cooker or pot. Add all ingredients and pour over water. Bring to a boil, lower heat and let simmer till fork tender, 1- 1.5 hours. Check the water level at 45 minutes to an hour.
    Remove chicken to a plate and shred the meat- discard bones. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and mix with the remaining bbq sauce that is in the pot. Set aside.

guacamole

  • Scoop the avocado flesh out of the skin into a medium sized bowl. Mash with a fork. Add salt, lemon, juice, and tomato, and mash again to combine.

island sauce

  • combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk with a fork to combine.
    transfer sauce to a piping bag or ziplock bag and when ready to use, snip off the end/corner.

make them

  • To fry the wonton wrappers, heat oil in a pan or pot until shimmering and fry the wrappers 3-4 at a time. when they are starting to turn golden on the edges, flip and fry the second side. this should take 7-15 seconds per side. remove when lightly golden-they will further deepen in color as they cool. drain on paper towels.
  • do this step before and store the wrappers in an airtight bag, or use them immedietly.
  • Get out a large serving platter. Spread a small spoonful(about a tablespoon to a tablespoon and a half) on to each wonton, leaving the edges dry.
    Pile up pulled chicken in the centre of the cracker. Place on serving platter.
    Once the wonton appetizers are plated, drizzle over each one island sauce- make a small opening when you cut the piping bag- the drizzle looks prettier when it is thinner!
    Enjoy fresh.
