FOIL WRAPPED CHICKEN

2 scallions 
1 oz. fresh ginger 
2 Tablespoons soy sauce 
1 Tablespoon rice wine 
pinch of brown sugar 
pinch of salt 
pinch of black pepper 
1 lb. chicken meat 
deep fat for frying

Chop the scallions and ginger very finely, then mix with the soy sauce, wine, sugar, salt and pepper. Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and toss into the soy sauce mixture. Leave covered for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
Cut out squares of aluminum foil. Wrap 2-3 bites of chicken into a piece of foil dropping in a little extra sauce mixture in with the chicken pieces Make sure chicken is securely wrapped with no leaks. Drop the foil parcels in hot fat and fry for about 2 minutes turning once if possible (not that important), drain. The correct way to serve the chicken is in its wrapper, since the wrapping holds in the flavor and juices.
