PAPER-WRAPPED CHICKEN



Paper-Wrapped Chicken image

I eat this quite a bit at our local Chinese restaurants, so I recreated it at home and made it even tastier. These are time-consuming, and I recommend using oil in the deep fryer that is ready to change as the marinade will ruin it for cooking anything else. I've also done this technique successfully with squid. I've also added in very thinly sliced onion and green peppers to the marinade and it was really good.

Time 4h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup teriyaki sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
30 4x4-inch squares aluminum foil, or as needed
oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Mix the teriyaki sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a bowl; stir in the chicken pieces until thoroughly coated.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken 3 to 4 hours to overnight.
  • Remove a piece of chicken from the marinade and place into the center of an aluminum square.
  • Fold the square diagonally over the chicken piece in a triangle shape; fold up the open edges of the triangle several times and press tightly together to seal the chicken into the foil. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Discard the used marinade.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Gently add the sealed foil packets to the hot oil and fry until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain the packets on paper towels and allow to cool slightly.
  • To serve, tear open the packets along the sealed edges.

Provided by Food Network

Time 8h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 skinless chicken thighs, each piece chopped in half across the bone
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 heaping tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
2 teaspoons sea salt, plus more for seasoning
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 to 3 heaping tablespoons cornstarch, for dusting
1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
1 heaping tablespoon ground black pepper
4 to 6 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
Mixed Salad, for serving, recipe follows
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 head butter or red leaf lettuce, sliced
2 carrots, peeled and shredded
1 medium Fresno chile, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 scallion, green parts only, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Cover the chicken with the light soy sauce, Chinese five-spice powder, salt and garlic, and stir to coat. Toss the chicken with the toasted sesame oil. Let marinate for as much time as you have; for best results, leave the chicken in the refrigerator overnight.
  • When ready to fry, toss the chicken pieces in the cornstarch.
  • Heat a large wok or pan over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, add the chicken and fry lightly until the thighs are golden brown on all sides and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the chicken on paper towels and season them with salt, pepper and cilantro as they come out of the oil.
  • Wrap each piece of newspaper and parchment into a cone shape and secure with a piece of tape. Fill each cone with several pieces of chicken and garnish with more chopped cilantro. Serve alongside a platter of Mixed Salad if desired.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil; set aside. Toss the lettuce, carrots, chiles and scallions with the dressing when ready to serve.

ASIAN STYLE PAPER WRAPPED CHICKEN



Asian Style Paper Wrapped Chicken image

Paper-wrapped chicken like in a pu pu platter. It is called 'Paper Wrapped' although it is actually wrapped in aluminum foil. This is one of the best appetizers I have ever had at an Asian restaurant and this is my attempt to duplicate it. It goes very well on the pu pu platter.

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 green onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
