[b]Magic Fried Chicken[/b]
[i]Notice the oil never touches the chicken![/i]
I was thinking about the Chinese paper-wrapped chicken, deciding to make it for my daughter & gang for her birthday next month.
Then I thought, "I wonder if you can do that with chicken pieces?"
Never know till you try...
I had bought chicken drumsticks today, and I made a marinade of Worcestershire sauce, cumin, oregano, paprika, soy sauce,salt, pepper and 1/2 tsp of pure sesame oil (from the Asian aisle at the market). Put the drumsticks in a qt Ziploc and poured the marinade over them, into the fridge for about an hour.
Then I wrapped each drumstick in a foil rectangle, folded the long edges together several times to make an oil-tight seal, then folded the short edges several times - like an envelope
Heated oil to 400 F and fried the packets, about 13 minutes each side.
Made green beans same way but only a drizzle of sesame oil and one of balsamic vinegar. The beans only needed about 8 minutes.
Tasty.
You can also do this in the oven, on the grill, or in the coals of a campfire, like hobo stew.
