Chicken in Pandanus Leaves
Gai Hor Bai Toey - ไก่ห่อใบเตย
Description
If you cannot get pandanus leaves or do not want to fry the chicken, then this dish is also excellent when the marinated chicken is baked in the oven (for about 30 minutes until cooked). If this dish is served in pandanus leaves then remove them before eating the chicken - they are not edible!

Ingredients
| 200 | g | chicken breast (cut into 20 equal pieces) |
| 20 | pandanus leaves (or enough silver foil) | |
| 20 | g | sesame seeds (roasted ) |
| 1 | t | black pepper (ground) |
| 250 | ml | oil |
| Sauce | ||
| 15 | ml | light soy sauce |
| 1 | tbsp | tapioca flour |
| 15 | ml | sesame oil |
Instructions
Put the chicken into a bowl, add the sauce ingredients and mix well together. Leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes. Then add the sesame seeds and black pepper and mix well together.
Wrap each piece of chicken in a pandanus leaf and cut off the ends if they are too long. The chicken can be stored in the refrigerator like this until you are ready to fry it. When you want to fry it, put the oil into a wok and turn on a medium heat.
When the oil is hot put in the chicken pieces and fry for about 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked. Drain on some kitchen paper and serve immediately with some sweet chilli dipping sauce.
