Paper Wrapped Chicken, a delicious morsels of marinated chicken that makes the perfect side dish or party bite.

Paper Wrapped Chicken is a Cantonese dish that are basically little parcels of tender and delectable chicken. I remember as kids my parents would often take us to this really rustic non-air conditioned eatery called Union Farm Eating House that is in the South West part of Singapore called Clementi. I believe during the early 80's, they were probably the only place that served this unique dish. We were so contented to have their famous Paper Wrapped Chicken with just a plate of garlic and sesame oil tossed egg noodles.
​
Paper Wrapped Chicken features a ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil based marinade, and is traditionally deep fried. The meat is infused with all the savory flavor. To make the recipe a little more effortless, I baked the chicken parcels instead. The chicken turned out really tender and the flavor was amazing.
