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.

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.

I didn't really this. I marinated it overnight but it was still a but bland. I was looking for a more Chinese flavor with this and was surprised that it was so bland given the pungent smell of the ingredients.My husband thought it was okay but I won't make this again.

This was a great little appetizer. I made it to go with my Kung Pao Chicken dinner and everyone gobbled them up.
