FOIL WRAPPED CHICKEN - BAKED OR FRIED
The secret of this popular dish lies in the marinade, which, when cooking, caramelizes the chicken and other ingredients, joining them together. When wrapping the chicken, it is customary to add a few other ingredients as a type of garnish. Cilantro, Chinese dried mushrooms, Chinese sausages (you can substitute smoked ham), and/or green onions are all used. When it comes time to cook, the garnish and chicken pieces are wrapped envelope style in square packets and (normally) deep-fried. Baking is another option; see instructions in the final step. Cooking time is normally about three to four minutes - long enough for the chicken to cook through but not for the paper to blacken. (This is for five to six inch squares - the cooking time will be longer if you are working with a recipe that calls for larger packets.) Stir the pieces lightly with chopsticks a few times while deep-frying. Drain the cooked chicken packets on paper towels. This recipe can be prepared ahead up to the deep-frying or baking stage, then frozen. Time does not include 1 hour marination. Recipe courtesy Rhonda Parkinson.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into coarse mince and playfully spank it with a mallet to tenderize. Say, "You've been a naughty little chicken!".
- Mix the marinade ingredients together, add chicken, and refrigerate for one hour. At the 45 minute mark, add the mushrooms and scallions.
- Cut paper or foil pieces into 6-inch squares.
- Paper-wrapped chicken is normally wrapped envelope style. Take a square of paper and lay it out in front of you. Add 2 of the chicken slices, 1 slice of mushroom, 2 slices of green onion and a coriander sprig (if desired) in the middle, being sure to keep the filling in the center and not near the edges.
- Bring the bottom flap up over the chicken. Fold the right side over toward the middle, then the left side, so that one is overlapping the other. Fold the top flap down, tucking it inside the opening to seal the package. It is very important to make sure the packets are well sealed so that no oil seeps inches.
- If using foil, fold in half diagonally to form a triangle, then crimp the open edges together.
- DEEP FRYING METHOD: Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying.
- When the oil is ready, slide the packages in, about 6 at a time so as not to overcrowd the wok. Deep-fry the packets, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Drain on paper towels. Continue deep-frying the rest of the packets.
- Serve the chicken packets on a large platter, garnished with greens if desired. Guests can open the packets with either chopsticks or their fingers, but be careful as they're hot inside.
- OVEN METHOD: Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) oven for 18 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

Steps:
- Cut chicken into 1-inch-square pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, cilantro, ginger and garlic. Add chicken and toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Fold each piece of foil in half twice to make a 6-inch square. Place a spoonful of chicken in the center of each piece of foil, dividing it equally. Fold foil squares on the diagonal; fold edges to seal. Place on a nonstick baking sheet and bake 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES IN FOIL
To make your evening meal go faster, prep these chicken and vegetable packets early in the day and refrigerate until it's time to pop in the oven. This cooking time will yield nicely done chicken and vegetables with a little texture. If you prefer your vegetables softer, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and cook about 15 minutes longer. For the summer, this recipe will also adapt to the grill-just be sure to use a grill thermostat for best results.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cut an 18-inch wide roll of heavy-duty aluminum foil into six 12-inch long pieces.
- Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise, so the thickest part is about 1/2 inch thick and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set each seasoned chicken breast onto a single piece of aluminum foil.
- Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add sliced carrots, parsnip, red bell peppers, and mushrooms. Stir to combine vegetables with the seasoned oil. Set an even amount of vegetables on top of each piece of chicken.
- Top vegetables with a whole slice of red onion and place a sprig of fresh rosemary on top of the onion.
- Fold aluminum like a book cover over the top of each serving and crimp the edges all around tightly together.
- Place foil packets with the chicken on the bottom onto a 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Watch out for any steam when you check the chicken for doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove foil packets from the oven, open the packets, and serve immediately.
