Paper Wrapped Chicken is an old school dish usually deep fried in hot oil, it's commonly known as 'Chee Pao Gai 纸包鸡" in Cantonese. The first time I tasted this dish was in the 80's, that was also the first time my mom cooked this for our family. As a kid, I find it interesting and fun to unwrap the chicken parcel.
When I started cooking for my kid, I like to make food more interesting so my kid would look forward for meal time. Therefore, I started with Pandan Wrapped Chicken, Chicken Skewer and this... Paper Wrapped Chicken. The meat wrapped in paper could keep the moisture of the chicken, yield succulent and super tasty chicken meat.
My version of paper wrapped chicken is super easy as I don't want to go through the deep frying process with oil splattering around my kitchen, so I usually bake this in an oven or air fryer. It's non-greasy and the result is as good as the deep fried version. ;)

| If using Ninja Foodi, place the chicken parcel on the reversible rack or Cook & Crisp basket. These pictures were taken when I was cooking for one, baking the chicken drumstick together with the sweet corn. You can always make a larger batch, it's so easy to prepare with minimal clean-up afterwards! |
4. Bake in Ninja Foodi using BAKE/ ROAST function 180'C 25 minutes or in a preheated oven 200'C for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and serve warm. Alternatively, this can be deep fried in hot oil.
放进已预热的烤箱，以200度烘烤30分钟或至熟，即可。家里没有烤箱的话，也可以油炸或气炸。
About Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker: The Ninja Foodi that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one appliance, it's super-efficient and time-saving. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, dehydrate, sous vide, yoghurt, and keep warm. This cooker helps prepare quick meals without hassle, which I highly recommend to everyone who loves easy and hassle-free cooking with fewer pots and pans to wash.
