Paper Wrapped Chicken Recipe

Interestingly, they're not wrapped in paper. Foiled again! An unusual chicken appetizer for the party, it's especially fitting for an oriental-themed dinner party, as appetizer or side dish.

Paper Wrapped Chicken

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon salad oil
1 tablespoon white wine
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 green onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Aluminum foil, cut into 6" squares
Cooking oil

Combine all ingredients except the chicken in a medium-size bowl.

Cut the chicken into approximately 1" square pieces, 1/4" to 1/2" thick. Fold the pieces into the marinade mixture, coat well, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Place 1 piece of chicken on a square of aluminum foil. Fold the foil over to form a triangle, then seal the open edges with small, double folds. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.

Melt shortening or pour oil in a skillet to a depth of 1/2" and heat thoroughly. Drop chicken packages into the skillet and cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

Serves 6 as a dinner appetizer, 2 or 3 appetizers per guest.
