Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs with no skin or bones
- A half cup of cornstarch
- Quarter cup of Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce
- Quarter cup of Kikkoman Hoisin Sauce
- Quarter cup of tightly packed brown sugar
- Quarter cup of finely chopped cilantro
- Two tablespoons of finely minced ginger
- Two cloves of chopped garlic
- Eighteen squares of aluminum foil, each measuring 12 inches
Step 1
Begin by cutting the chicken into bite-sized 1-inch chunks. Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine a medley of cornstarch, savory soy sauce, flavorful hoisin sauce, a hint of sugar, fragrant cilantro, zesty ginger, and pungent garlic. Toss the chicken in this delectable mixture until every piece is nicely coated. Let this marriage of flavors marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Take each sheet of foil and fold it with care, doubling it twice to create a snug 6-inch square. Spoon a generous helping of the marinated chicken into the center of each foil square, ensuring an even distribution. Fold the foil diagonally over the chicken, sealing the edges securely. Arrange these neat little parcels on a baking sheet, preferably nonstick, and let them bake for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Store any leftover foil-wrapped chicken in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and flavor.
- 2. Consider labeling the container with the date to keep track of how long the chicken has been stored.
