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.

Time 2h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white wine
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
ΒΌ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup peanut oil for frying, or as needed
18 6x6-inch squares of aluminum foil, or as needed

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.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was raw and the vegetables were burnt.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was a bit tough and the vegetables were overcooked.

I thought the chicken was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I had to spend a lot of time chopping vegetables and preparing the chicken.
