A Tiny Gift that Keeps Giving
 
Foil-Wrapped Chicken
 
On lazy weekends, my Dad would sometimes make me shirred eggs as a treat. Oh sure, he'd fry eggs in a pan or make scrambled eggs routinely. But there was something extra special about having your own egg baked in its own little dish, topped with some Parmesan cheese, paprika, and a dab of butter. It somehow seemed more precious.

That's how I felt about his foil-wrapped chicken, too. As a kid, I would help him fold the triangular packages of chicken marinated in a sweet-salty blend of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Ketchup, and ginger. Unlike the version at Chinese dim sum restaurants, my Dad's wasn't fried; it was baked in the oven instead.

Of course, it would be easier to just cook the chicken in a pan without wrapping tiny portions of it in foil packages. But it wouldn't be nearly as fun, not when the shiny packages emerge from the oven puffed up like Jiffy-Pop popcorn.

Tear them open over a bowl of steamed rice to catch all the finger-licking good sauce.
