You see, when it comes to the birth of Christ, it’s hard to find anything to brag about other than the birth of Christ! Stinky stable (and not a warm hospital), wooden manger (and not a beautiful crib), insignificant parents (and not reputable people), notorious town (and not the religious city of Jerusalem), dangerous journey (and not a bed for Mary), Roman dictatorship (and not servant leadership), swaddling cloths (and not fresh linens). It is mostly bad so that we might not miss the good.

INSTRUCTIONS

MARINADE
WRAPPING PAPER WRAPPED CHICK
1. Skin and bone chicken; then cut into pieces 1 1/2" x2" long.
2. Sprinkle chicken with each of the ingredients listed under "marinade,"
mix well and then add the green onions and ginger. Marinate for 2 hours.
3. See diagrams for wrapping.
4. Heat the oil to 325 degrees and then carefully put each package into the
oil.  Deep-fry 4 minutes on each side. Put packages in a strainer to drain
off excess oil before serving.
NOTE: Paper Wrapped Chicken may be deep-fried several hours in advance and
reheated in the oven (325 degrees) for 10 minutes just before serving. 1.
Brush 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.
2. Fold the corner to just cover the chicken.
3. Fold once more...about 1 1/4," and tuck second edge under meat (This
forms a triangle.)
4. Make an envelope by folding the left and right corners toward the
middle.
5. Tuck in the flap to close the envelope.
