Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. (3-12 hours)

04

Step

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Place a marinated chicken piece in the center of a foil square. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Fold the foil square tightly over the chicken in a triangular shape. Fold the open edges over the chicken to enclose completely, pressing firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Discard the marinade. (20 minutes)

06

Step

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (10 minutes)

07

Step

Carefully add the foil packets to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 2 to 4 minutes per batch. (15 minutes)

08

Step

Remove the fried packets and drain on paper towels. Allow to cool slightly before serving. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding thinly sliced onions, bell peppers, or even a few shiitake mushrooms to the marinade.
Ensure the foil packets are tightly sealed to prevent oil from seeping in during frying.
Serve immediately after frying for the best texture and flavor.

    Be careful when deep frying! A couple packets leaked a bit, but overall, it was a successful recipe.
