Asian Chicken in Foil Triangles

Asian Chicken Foil Triangles are delicious appetizers for any dinner party. To prepare them, you'll need a sheet of aluminum foil cut into six-inch squares. Place a heaping teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each square. Fold the sides diagonally to make a triangle shape. Seal the sides well by folding the bottom corners back over themselves. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Chicken Legs
Marinade:
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce I prefer low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 TBS Hoisin Sauce
  • 2 TBS Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ginger minced
  • 1 tsp Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Method
 

  1. Using a sharp knife, cut the meat off the chicken legs. You will be able to get one large piece (which you will then be able to cut up in smaller pieces), but then there is more meat that has to be cut off the bone. The pieces should be about the size of your thumb.
  2. Put the chicken in a ziplock baggy and pour the marinade directly in the baggy. Seal the bag and use your hands to push the marinade all over the chicken. Let marinate at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cut up foil squares that are about 4 inches by 4 inches. Place one piece of chicken in the center of each foil square and fold like a triange, sealing the corners as tight as you can.
  4. Place on a baking sheet and turn on your broiler (or grill). You can broil for 4 minutes on each side, or grill for 4 minutes on each side. Let cool 1 minute. Enjoy opening your foil triangles!

Notes

You can use chicken breast in this recipe, but I think the dark meat is what makes it so delicious and tender. The foil triangles are fun to tear apart also. You can serve this as dinner, serve them at parties, and make them ahead of time also!
