Share:
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds (750g) boneless and skinless chicken tenders breasts, or thighs
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 dashes white pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or scallion, for garnish, optional
Marinade:
- 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 piece fresh ginger peeled and cut into thin strips
- 2 red chilies seeded and finely chopped
- 4 star anise optional
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Lightly season the chicken with salt and white pepper. Combine all the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Cut out four pieces of aluminum foil, each measuring 12"x12" (30 cm x 30 cm). Divide the chicken into four equal portions and transfer each portion to an individual piece of foil. Seal the edges of the foil tightly to form a parcel, ensuring there are no leaks from the sides.
- Transfer all the parcels to the oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken parcels from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
- Garnish the chicken with chopped cilantro or scallions and serve it with warm steamed rice.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can also use boneless and skinless chicken breast or thighs. Score each the meat a few times with a knife before marinating.
