Oven-baked Pandan Wrapped Chicken



Here's a simple way to make light, simple and tasty bites. I believe it's Thai origin, and it is yummier deep fried, but i prefer mine oven baked. It works with either chicken breast or tender chicken thighs.

Here's what you'll need:
Chicken meat, I used two large chicken breast pieces (cut into 1-1.5 inch cubes)
pandan leaves
3 inches ginger (grated and squeezed for juice)
1-2 dashes of soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
a dash of sesame oil
2-3 dashes of white pepper powder
3 tbsp of sugar (you may also use honey)

Instructions:
  1. Marinate chicken pieces in all ingredients for at least an hour or two.
  2. Starting on one end of the pandan leaf, start rolling in the chicken piece. Hold the wrap with a toothpick.
  3. In a preheated oven, bake chicken pieces at approx 200 deg. celcius, for 20-25 minutes (until golden brown).
  4. serve on its own or preferred dipping sauce


Prep + cook time: 1 hour

Difficulty level : easy- moderate
