BEST EVER Paper Wrapped Chicken 纸包鸡 Super Easy Chinese Chicken Recipe • Chee Pow Gai • Asian Chicken

If this is the first time you have ever seen paper wrapped chicken, you must be thinking that Chinese are weird. Haha. Actually there's a reason why the chicken is wrapped in the chicken before we cook it. It's to seal the juice of the meat in so that your chicken will remain juicy and yummy. You gotta try Roland's paper wrapped chicken. It's 100 times better than the most famous paper wrapped chicken in Singapore. No joke.
See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.
We would like to give special thanks to Greenpan for letting us try out their high quality non-stick Dutch Oven Pot in the video. If you like to buy them, you can go to any of the major departmental stores in Singapore such as Isetan, Robinsons, Takashimaya, BHG, OG, Metro or Tangs. These two brands are also available in most major departmental stores in Malaysia.
Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home. Thanks for dropping by our channel.

I have seen this method used in baking meats. Mostly French dishes. Thank you for demonstrating the frying technique. I have another new dish to try thanks to you. Thank you!

[@elmo319]

Dale Wright - yeps, ‘en papillote’. Usually with fish, I’ve never seen it with meat before so it’s interesting, especially because the parcels are cooked in an oven and not deep fried. Italians call it ‘al cartoccio’

Chef Roland, we are 10 & 16 yo kids would like to use Philips Air fryer to cook this for my mommy’s coming birthday. Can you please teach us what temperature & how many mins to set? Thank you.

[@spicenpans]

Hi, you can set the temperature at 180degrees celcius for 10-15 mins. Do make sure that the chicken is rested at room temperature before you air fry them so that they will cook evenly. Your mom is so blessed to have you kids. Happy cooking.

[@wiwidsetiowati4158]

I will try again tomorrow

[@spicenpans]

Happy cooking, Wiwid :)

[@tubefae3924]

Hi, can you explain what you mean by “two pieces of chicken thigh meat”? Because there’s no mention of chopping into portions or how big each portion should be. Are you referring to boneless chicken thighs?

[@spicenpans]

Yes full size boneless chicken thigh meat which weighs around 220g each.

[@pomfret_and_pommes_frites_6493]

Yes it is the first time I am seeing this and it is weird! I have to try this! Will this paper wrap work for other meats like beef or pork or fish?

[@spicenpans]

Hi PAPF, now that you asked, we have never seen anyone selling this with other meat. It’s always with chicken. Hope this helps. Happy cooking!

[@sharonkhoo83]

can I use oil paper?

[@ivytan6889]

Hi. May I know what kind of paper?

[@joshuaang755]

Thanks for the recipe. But what's the rationale for deep frying instead of baking?

[@Cassieskins21]

because everything is better fried

[@vudao1441]

My thought exactly

[@TheUkuleleBug]

Hi. Do we use boneless chicken ?

[@kittybumbum5988]

It looks like boneless thighs. Idk if he deboned chicken wing...? But the flat of the chicken wing would be very good in these lil paper bundles. 👍

[@rtoong]

Am afraid of oil splashes everywhere, can we do the same frying by using air fryer?

[@chengpekgan4770]

Can I fry those chicken parcels in Air Fryer? At what temperature? Duration? BTW, your dog is very cute...

[@GrandmaNZ]

Yes you can but abit dry not as moist. And make sure to use greaseproof baking paper not the one for lining cake. Reduce tempt as airfryer can be hotter and use lesser cooking time.

[@rosalindlee8806]

Hi can I use oven to bake this wrapped chicken instead of fying ?

[@rosalindlee8806]

If can what is the temperature and for how long ?

[@Sisterfifi]

I’ve had what I think is the same as this in restaurants, but the paper wrapping is edible. I assume they used rice paper.

[@leepintan8952]

would be marvellous if you could show a side view of the cooked chicken.

.I remembered when I ate this in childhood, those paper was edible too, I think they used waffle paper instead of parchment paper

Maybe rice paper?

Pandan leaves is it a healthier wrap alternay,

[@edwardlee4628]

Can I use this method with pork

Hi Edward, for some reason, we have only come across chicken cooked this way but you can try with pork and let us know what you think. Happy cooking!

[@ericchee8895]

Hi Roland. I have marinated the chicken and put inside the fridge for 2 hours. Do I still need to wait for 39 to 40 min after I remove it from the fridge? Or I can staright away to do the cooking. Thanks

[@spicenpans]

Hi Eric. The purpose of removing the meat from the fridge and leave it in open for a while is to bring the meat to room temperature so that it’ll be cooked evenly. Maybe you can wait for 15 mins before cooking?

Nice recipe but the chicken looked undone. Where can I find cooking paper?

[@angexu4361]

Was the oil splattering? It sounded like it. Why is that considering the chicken is wrapped in paper?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Ange, there was minimal splattering for us when we were cooking this. The purpose of wrapping the chicken in the paper is to protect the chicken so that it can cook in its own juice --- which makes really juicy chicken. You should try it. Happy cooking!

[@australianreptiles]

I guess you're not a side dish type of person.

[@MaZEEZaM]

ATOM AU I never heard him say it was a side dish, my reason for saying this is because the only similar method I have seen used was. For cooking individual portions of fish though in this case it was for example a filet of white fish, seasoned then placed on a few slices of lemon possibly with some lemon juice added, wrapped in baking paper and baked in the oven or steamed. The same dish works really well if you wrap the fish in filo pastry instead of baking paper and baked in the oven. It would still only be part of the overall meal and it would be a single person’s portion of fish not just two bites and it’s gone.
