ASIAN STYLE PAPER WRAPPED CHICKEN
Paper-wrapped chicken like in a pu pu platter. It is called 'Paper Wrapped' although it is actually wrapped in aluminum foil. This is one of the best appetizers I have ever had at an Asian restaurant and this is my attempt to duplicate it. It goes very well on the pu pu platter.

Steps:
- Mix soy sauce, green onion, hoisin sauce, vegetable oil, white wine, cornstarch, sugar, ginger, garlic, five-spice powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Stir chicken cubes into the sauce to coat; marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Place 1 to 2 chicken cubes onto a square of aluminum foil and fold the foil diagonally to make a triangle. Fold the edges over tightly several times, about 1/4 inch per fold, squeezing as much air as possible out of the packet. Repeat with remaining ingredients and foil.
- Pour 1 cup peanut oil, or as needed, into a heavy skillet (such as a cast-iron pan) to a depth of 1/2 inch; heat over medium heat until oil is shimmering.
- Gently lay the chicken packets, working in batches if necessary, into the hot oil and cook until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear (open a test packet to be sure), about 5 minutes per side. Drain packets on paper towels. Serve chicken in foil wrappers and let diners unwrap their own.

ASIAN BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN
Pulled my chicken breasts out of the fridge, and saw the bacon laying there, and then I was just inspired. I had some bacon wrapped shrimp at a restaurant called Scampy's in Florida, and that's what inspired the flavors for this dish. I just started mixing stuff together, and voila, DELICIOUS! My family was RAVING over this chicken. What a great way to turn boring ol' grilled chicken into a family favorite!

Steps:
- If you use chicken breasts make sure to cut them in about 1/2 the size, maybe even quarter, by splitting them and then cutting in half.
- Wrap chicken in bacon strips and place in heated pan w/olive oil seam side down.
- Fry on both sides till bacon is almost cooked. ( this step may be skipped if you prefer to just bake it, I just love fried bacon? lol )
- Meanwhile...Mix bbq, mustard, soy sauce, garlic, sesame seed oil, ginger, and sugar in a small bowl. ( I don't have measurements for these, I just added them as I went and tasted till it was right....you really can't mess this up :)
- place chicken in a square pan (depending on how much you have decided to cook-the tighter space between the chicken the better for the sauce), baste w/sauce and save remaining for the end. Place the pan in a preheated 350 deg. oven and cook for approx 20-30 minutes. When chicken is done, pour remaining sauce over chicken and heat for a minute or two, or save to pour over at the chicken at the table.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use chicken breasts of uniform thickness. If your chicken breasts are uneven, pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- For a crispy bacon wrapping, cook the bacon until it is just shy of your desired crispness. The bacon will continue to crisp as it roasts with the chicken.
- If you don't have toothpicks, you can secure the bacon with kitchen twine.
- For a sweeter glaze, add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the soy sauce mixture.
- If you like a spicy glaze, add a teaspoon of Sriracha or chili sauce to the soy sauce mixture.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Asian Bacon Wrapped Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the bacon adds a crispy and savory touch. The glaze is sweet and tangy, and it perfectly complements the chicken and bacon. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
