5Heat the oil to 325 degrees and then carefully put each package into the oil.

7Put packages in a strainer to drain off excess oil before serving.
8Note: paper wrapped chicken may be deep-fried several hours in advance and reheated in the oven (325 degrees) for 10 minutes just before serving.
9Brush center of the paper with oil, and with one corner of the paper toward you, place 1 piece of chicken and 1 sliver of green onion about 2" from that corner.
10Fold the corner to just cover the chicken.
11Fold once more...about 1 ?" and tuck second edge under meat (this forms a triangle).
12Make an envelope by folding the left and right corners toward the middle.
13Tuck in the flap to close the envelope.
