How to Make Paper Chicken – English and Urdu Recipe

Have you ever tried a delicious dish at a restaurant and wished you could make it at home? That’s exactly what happened with Paper-Wrapped Chicken! I enjoyed this tasty “paper chicken” at a restaurant but couldn’t find the recipe online.

So, I decided to experiment: cut chicken into cubes, coat them with flavorful spices, wrap in butter paper (or parchment paper), and cook. To my surprise, it turned out amazing – juicy, aromatic, and full of flavor!

This simple home-style version traps the spices and juices inside the paper, creating tender chicken that’s steamed and lightly crisped.

It’s like a little gift packet of goodness you unwrap at the table. Perfect as an appetizer or main dish.

The key tip: Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or longer for even better taste) so the spices soak in deeply.

You can bake, air-fry, or lightly pan-fry the packets for a healthier twist – no deep-frying needed!
