Paper Wrapped Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 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.

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.

Steps:

• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
• Pat the chicken breasts dry between paper towels, then cut each breast into 6 equal tenders, about 1 ounce each. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
• Soak 1 rice paper wrapper in a large shallow bowl of warm water until pliable, about 15 seconds, then lay on a cutting board. Arrange 1 chicken tender lengthwise across the middle of the wrapper. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the chicken, then fold in the sides and roll up into a tight log. Place the roll-up on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and chicken tenders.
• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Working in batches, place the roll-ups in a single layer in the basket, spacing them apart, then spray with them with cooking spray. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the roll-ups are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Garnish the roll-ups with the scallions, cilantro, and chiles and serve with sweet Thai chili sauce.

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into coarse mince and playfully spank it with a mallet to tenderize. Say, "You've been a naughty little chicken!".
• Mix the marinade ingredients together, add chicken, and refrigerate for one hour. At the 45 minute mark, add the mushrooms and scallions.
• Cut paper or foil pieces into 6-inch squares.
• Paper-wrapped chicken is normally wrapped envelope style. Take a square of paper and lay it out in front of you. Add 2 of the chicken slices, 1 slice of mushroom, 2 slices of green onion and a coriander sprig (if desired) in the middle, being sure to keep the filling in the center and not near the edges.
• Bring the bottom flap up over the chicken. Fold the right side over toward the middle, then the left side, so that one is overlapping the other. Fold the top flap down, tucking it inside the opening to seal the package. It is very important to make sure the packets are well sealed so that no oil seeps inches.
• If using foil, fold in half diagonally to form a triangle, then crimp the open edges together.
• DEEP FRYING METHOD: Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying.
• When the oil is ready, slide the packages in, about 6 at a time so as not to overcrowd the wok. Deep-fry the packets, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Drain on paper towels. Continue deep-frying the rest of the packets.
• Serve the chicken packets on a large platter, garnished with greens if desired. Guests can open the packets with either chopsticks or their fingers, but be careful as they're hot inside.
• OVEN METHOD: Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) oven for 18 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Get grease-proof paper and cut into 18cm by 18cm 12 square pieces of papers.
• Marinate the chicken pieces with seasoning 1 for 15 minutes.
• Brush 1 side of the each paper with oil.
• Place a piece of chicken at one corner of the paper.
• Fold up this corner to cover the chicken.
• Then fold the sides to cover the chicken as well.
• Fold the remaining corner down and tuck into the pocket to make a package.
• Repeat for the rest of the chicken pieces.
• Heat oil in a saucepan for deep-frying.
• When the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Place in the packages and fry for about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove and drain the packages off excess oil.
• Serve hot.
• The packages are to be open by the diners themselves.
