Chicken Ramaki Food

CHICKEN RAMAKI

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients (everything except chicken, bacon, and water chestnuts) and mix well so brown sugar dissolves.
• Put chicken and water chestnuts into marinade and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Slice bacon in half, place 1 sliced water chestnut and 1 piece of chicken at the end of bacon slice and roll up, secure with a toothpick, repeat.
• Place wraps on a cookie sheet (approx 1/2 inch apart) and bake at 350°F for 35 minutes.

RUMAKI TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Stir together the teriyaki sauce and garlic in a medium bowl, then add the livers and water chestnuts. Toss to coat. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Soak 24 toothpicks in cold water for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the boiler. Remove the livers and water chestnuts from the marinade and discard the marinade. Lay 1 bacon half on a cutting board and place 1 piece of liver and 1 water chestnut in the center. Fold one side of the bacon over them, and thread a toothpick through the bacon, then the chestnut and liver. Wrap the remaining bacon edge around this parcel and secure on the toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 24 rumaki.
• Broil the rumaki on a rack set over a baking sheet (covered with aluminum foil for easy clean up) 2 inches from the heat for 4 minutes. Flip them over and broil for 2 minutes more. Brush the rumaki with additional teriyaki sauce and return to the broiler for 2 more minutes. Place on a serving tray and serve immediately.

RUMAKI

Steps:

• Marinate chicken livers and bacon in soy sauce 4 hours in refrigerator. Toward end of marinating period, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Skewer liver, chestnut, and bacon, and dip in brown sugar. Arrange rumaki on wire rack over shallow roasting pan and bake about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until bacon is crisp.

RUMAKI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, canola oil, sesame oil, reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, black pepper, garlic and grated ginger in a bowl. Add the water chestnuts and marinate for 2 hours at room temperature.
• Cut the pineapple chunks in half and set aside. Cut the bacon strips in half and set aside. Cut the chicken livers into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.
• To assemble: Lay out a half strip of bacon. Put a slice of pineapple at one end, topped by a slice of water chestnut and a piece of chicken liver. Roll up the bacon and seal with a toothpick. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.
• Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and brush with the marinade. Bake, brushing with marinade every 10 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the livers are just cooked but still slightly pink, 35 to 40 minutes. The last 10 minutes, brush with the marinade and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN RUMAKI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Cut chicken into twenty-four 1 ½-inch pieces. Wrap bacon around chicken pieces. Thread a 4- to 6-inch skewer with a bacon-wrapped chicken piece, a green onion piece, and a sweet pepper strip. Repeat 23 more times. Place in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
• Bake for 8 minutes. Brush with teriyaki glaze. Continue baking another 16 minutes or until bacon is cooked through.

RUMAKI (CHICKEN LIVERS, SEA SCALLOPS OR BOTH)

Steps:

• Place bacon strips on frying pan with low flame and cover pan.
• Melt some butter and add the soy sauce, ginger, sherry and garlic in another frying pan with the chicken livers, scallops, or both, on a medium flame. DO NOT ALLOW THE BACON TO GET FULLY DONE, ONLY PARTIALLY DONE.
• While bacon is still soft and only partially done, remove and place strips onto a paper towel to slightly cool.
• When livers and scallops are done on both sides, remove from flame and also set aside onto paper towel to slightly cool.
• Slice the chicken livers and scallops into somewhat flat pieces.
• Take a piece of chicken liver or scallop, and a slice of water chestnut and wrap either 1/2 strip of bacon or a whole strip of bacon around the liver and water chestnut, securing it with a wooden toothpick. Place the Rumaki onto a cookie sheet, and continue this same procedure, until the cookie sheet is filled and the livers, scallops, and bacon are gone. Set the cookie sheet with all of the Rumaki aside.
• About 20 minutes before company arrives, preheat oven to 450 degrees. About 15 minutes before company arrives, place the cookie sheet with the Rumaki into the oven for 10 minutes, and then raise the oven to broil for about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven and serve on a hot plate. Leave the toothpicks in place for serving.

TENDER BAKED CHICKEN LIVER RUMAKI

Steps:

• Wash and trim chicken livers; cut each in half. Cut bacon strips in half and precook strips halfway. This is important since otherwise they would not finish cooking in a timely manner when baked. Be sure not to cook the bacon till it is crispy or it will not wrap around the livers properly.
• Wrap one bacon strip around each liver half. Some people also include a water chestnut half with the liver, but I do not.
• Fasten bacon around liver with a toothpick.
• In a bowl or large plastic storage bag, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar and bourbon, if used. Add the prepared rumaki and cover the bowl or seal the bag. Allow to marinate for 6 to 8 hours or two hours at the least. Drain well.
• Arrange rumaki on a baking sheet with sides. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1/2 hour or until cooked as desired.

RUMAKI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together teriyaki sauce, garlic and ginger root. Place chicken livers and water chestnuts in the mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Wrap each half slice of bacon around one chicken liver half and a slice of water chestnut. Secure by skewering with small skewers or toothpicks.
• Carefully lower skewered wraps into the hot oil in small batches. Deep fry 3 to 4 minutes, or until bacon is evenly brown and of desired crispness. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
