Chinese Chicken Recipes

Ingredients

Directions

1. First make the marinade. Mix together 1 tablespoon wine, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch mixture. Put the cut-up chicken pieces in a glass bowl and pour the marinade over the pieces. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Put a cover on the bowl and put it in the refrigerator for around 30 minutes.

2. Next make the sauce. Mix together 1 tablespoon of wine, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch mixture, the chile paste, sugar and vinegar in a small bowl. Add in the green onion, water chestnuts, garlic and peanuts. Heat the sauce in a medium pan slowly until the flavors combine and become aromatic.

3. Take the chicken out of the marinade. Heat a large skillet and sauté the chicken until the pieces are white. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and let it cook together until the sauce becomes thicker.

Directions

1. Combine the teriyaki sauce, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces and coat them with the marinade.  

2. Put a cover on the bowl and put it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours or overnight to marinate.

3. Take one piece of chicken from the bowl and put it into the center of an aluminum foil square.

4. Fold the aluminum foil over the chicken to make a triangle. Fold the edges that are open over the chicken tightly so that the chicken is sealed into the aluminum foil. Do this with all of the chicken pieces. Throw the rest of the marinade out.

6. Carefully drop the chicken packets into the hot oil and cook about 2 to 4 minutes until the chicken is tender.
