Paper Wrapped Chicken
This dish is the perfect blend of savory goodness, crispy texture, and that oh-so-satisfying feeling of unwrapping a treasure. Let’s take a look at what you’ll need to make this culinary masterpiece!
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
- 2 pieces of parchment paper (or banana leaves for authenticity)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by mixing the soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, minced garlic, and ginger in a bowl. This will be your magical marinade!
- Toss the chicken thighs in the marinade and let them soak up all that flavor for at least 30 minutes. If you have more time, let it hang out in the fridge for a couple of hours!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, we can grab our parchment paper or banana leaves.
- Cut the parchment paper into squares big enough to completely wrap the chicken. Think of it as making a cozy little bed for the chicken!
- Place the marinated chicken in the center of each square and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the edges of the paper over the chicken, crimping them to make sure they don’t pop open. This is where the magic happens!
- Place the wrapped chicken on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they smell so good that you can’t resist peeking!
- Once done, unwrap those little parcels of goodness, sprinkle some chopped green onions over the top, and present your dish like the culinary genius you are!
Now that you have mastered Paper Wrapped Chicken, it’s time to impress your friends and family. Just watch their faces light up as they dig in! Enjoy every bite of this delightful dish!
