In a small bowl, mix together vegetable oil and sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, Sriracha and lime juice. Add minced garlic and ginger and set aside. Dress slaw just before serving to keep the veggies nice and crisp. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup peanut oil, honey and 2 tablespoons of Sriracha for the glaze and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt and pepper, and dredge each piece of chicken well, completely coating with flour. Heat 3 inches of canola oil to 350° in a large saucepan. Working in batches, fry chicken, turning every couple minutes until golden brown and cooked through (5 - 6 minutes). Remove from the oil and toss in Sriracha-honey glaze. Dress the slaw with vinaigrette and serve family-style with the chicken and lettuce wraps.
