Chicken In Foil Triangles Aka Twice Baked Chicken Food

FOIL-PACKET CARIBBEAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the scallions, cilantro stems, jerk seasoning, garlic, lime zest and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor. Pulse, scraping down the processor a few times, until a coarse paste forms. Toss the chicken with the paste in a medium bowl.
• Lay out four 16- to 18-inch-long sheets of foil. Divide the sweet potatoes among the foil and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss well. Arrange the potatoes in the middle of the foil and top with the chicken. Bring the two short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet.
• Grill the foil packets, turning once, until the chicken and potatoes are cooked through and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the salsa: Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and radishes; transfer to a medium bowl. Peel, core and chop the pineapple; add to the bowl. Add the lime juice, a few shakes of hot sauce and a pinch each of salt and pepper; toss well.
• Carefully open the foil packets. Top with the pineapple salsa.

FOIL-BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 1-inch-square pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, cilantro, ginger and garlic. Add chicken and toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Fold each piece of foil in half twice to make a 6-inch square. Place a spoonful of chicken in the center of each piece of foil, dividing it equally. Fold foil squares on the diagonal; fold edges to seal. Place on a nonstick baking sheet and bake 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.

FOIL-PACK GRILLED SWEET-AND-SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Whisk together the chili powder, sugar, chipotle powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl to make a dry spice rub. Place the wings in a large bowl, toss with the oil, and sprinkle with the dry spice rub. Toss the wings to evenly coat, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
• Prepare a grill for high heat.
• Tear off four 18-by-18-inch sheets of heavy duty non-stick aluminum foil. Remove the wings from the bowl, making sure to leave any excess liquid behind. Divide the wings among the foil pieces, centering them on each piece in a single layer. Sprinkle the wings with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Bring two opposite ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal, then fold in the other sides to create leak-proof packets. Grill over high heat, turning once, until the wings are cooked through, about 25 minutes. Carefully open the packets (hot steam will escape). Scatter the cilantro over the tops and serve with the lime wedges.

• Paper-wrapped chicken is normally wrapped envelope style. Take a square of paper and lay it out in front of you. Add 2 of the chicken slices, 1 slice of mushroom, 2 slices of green onion and a coriander sprig (if desired) in the middle, being sure to keep the filling in the center and not near the edges.
• Bring the bottom flap up over the chicken. Fold the right side over toward the middle, then the left side, so that one is overlapping the other. Fold the top flap down, tucking it inside the opening to seal the package. It is very important to make sure the packets are well sealed so that no oil seeps inches.
• If using foil, fold in half diagonally to form a triangle, then crimp the open edges together.
