Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 2 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 sheets Foil sheets
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 12 bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors absorb.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut out 12 small squares of foil, approximately 6x6 inches each.
Place a marinated chicken piece in the center of a foil square. Garnish with a pinch of thinly sliced scallions before folding the foil tightly to create a sealed packet.
Repeat the process with the remaining chicken pieces and foil sheets.
Place the foil-wrapped chicken pieces on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully transfer the foil appetizers to a serving plate, allowing guests to open their individual packets for a fun and flavorful experience.
