Chinese Chicken in Foil Appetizers created by threeovens

This is just like paper wrapped chicken from Chinese restaurants. My kids love to make and eat these. Very easy! Time estimates don't include marination.

I've found making this with some rice wine vinegar and using thighs gives these a better, stronger flavor.

These are strangely addictive little morsels. I found them a little tedious to put together until I got an assembly line going. I used a homemade hoisin sauce which I think has more flavor than store-bought. DH did not care for them, but he could not put his finger on the reason.

These were okay- but weird. Beforehand- I marinated at room temp. for 3 hours. When we were wrapping them, DD got some on her fingers and tasted it. She said it was awesome. Then, once they baked, there was a "strange" taste to them. Maybe it's the fact that they are baked in foil??? IDK- but DH could not eat them AT ALL.
