Recipe Summary Asian Style Paper Wrapped Chicken
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.Ingredients | Asian Style Kitchen Design2 tablespoons soy sauce1 green onion, finely chopped1 tablespoon hoisin sauce1 tablespoon vegetable oil1 tablespoon white wine1 tablespoon cornstarch1 teaspoon white sugar1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger1 teaspoon chopped garlic¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powdersalt and ground black pepper to taste1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes1 cup peanut oil for frying, or as needed18 6x6-inch squares of aluminum foil, or as neededDirectionsMix soy sauce, green onion, hoisin sauce, vegetable oil, white wine, cornstarch, sugar, ginger, garlic, five-spice powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Stir chicken cubes into the sauce to coat; marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours.Place 1 to 2 chicken cubes onto a square of aluminum foil and fold the foil diagonally to make a triangle. Fold the edges over tightly several times, about 1/4 inch per fold, squeezing as much air as possible out of the packet. Repeat with remaining ingredients and foil.Pour 1 cup peanut oil, or as needed, into a heavy skillet (such as a cast-iron pan) to a depth of 1/2 inch; heat over medium heat until oil is shimmering.Gently lay the chicken packets, working in batches if necessary, into the hot oil and cook until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear (open a test packet to be sure), about 5 minutes per side. Drain packets on paper towels. Serve chicken in foil wrappers and let diners unwrap their own.For cooking, I used a cast iron skillet on a gas barbeque with the barbeque at 400 degrees. You could use a deep fryer as well.Info | Asian Style Kitchen Designprep:
