\"\"Silver Paper Chicken (gee bow gai<\/em>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1\/2 pounds), halved (16 pieces)<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup soy sauce<\/p>\n

\u00bc cup sugar<\/p>\n

2 tsp. peeled, minced fresh ginger<\/p>\n

2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced<\/p>\n

2 T. Chinese rice wine, sake, or sherry<\/p>\n

1 T. Asian-style sesame oil<\/p>\n

1 T. rice vinegar or fresh lemon juice<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp. Chinese five-spice powder (optional)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 scallions, trimmed, white and green parts thinly sliced on a diagonal<\/p>\n

2 T. toasted sesame seeds (optional)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Place the chicken in a bowl or sturdy resealable plastic bag.\u00a0 Make the marinade: In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, rice wine, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and five-spice powder, if using. Whisk until the sugar crystals dissolve. Pour over the chicken, ensuring every piece is coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl (or seal the bag) and refrigerate the chicken for 4 to 6 hours.\u00a0 Assemble the foil packets: Tear off eight 10-inch pieces of Reynolds Wrap\u00ae Non-Stick Aluminum Foil. Arrange one piece on a flat surface with the long side parallel to you, dull side up so the chicken lifts right off after cooking. Lift two pieces of chicken out of the marinade and arrange in the center of the foil, overlapping slightly.\u00a0 Top with 1 tsp. of the marinade.\u00a0Bring the long edges of the foil together. Fold twice. Next, fold the short edges twice to completely enclose the chicken. Repeat for the remaining packets.\u00a0 You should have 8 total. Transfer to a rimmed sheet pan (this makes transporting to and from the grill easier).\u00a0 In the meantime, set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high (400 degrees).\u00a0Arrange the packets, starting with the seam sides up, on the grill grate. (Work in batches if your grill grate is not large enough to accommodate all eight at once.) Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until the chicken is cooked through. The packets may puff with steam as they cook. Carefully open a packet to check for doneness, avoiding any escaping steam. Using tongs, transfer the hot packets to the rimmed sheet pan.\u00a0 Carefully open the remaining packets. Scatter scallions on top of the chicken and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve directly from the Reynolds Wrap\u00ae Non-Stick Aluminum Foil packets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
