Hoisin Chicken… the easy way

Hoisin Chicken… Easy way

Ingredients

• 1 pound skinless chicken thighs (with bone or boneless), or thighs

  and drumsticks

• 1/2 cup hoisin sauce

• 1 clove minced garlic

• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

• 1/4 cup chopped scallions (white part, roots discarded, and green

  parts reserved for garnish)

• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 2 tablespoons rice wine (not rice vinegar) or sherry

• ¼ cup chopped scallions (green part), for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large

bowl, mix together all of the ingredients besides the chicken thighs and green

scallions. Once the sauce is fully mixed, add the chicken pieces and fully coat

with the sauce on all sides.

Place chicken

in a baking dish that has been thinly coated with cooking spray or olive oil.

Cook for 20-

25 minutes, uncovered, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches

165 degrees F when taking with a meat thermometer (or until chicken is cooked

through).

Remove the

baking dish from the oven and allow the chicken to rest, 10 minutes, covered

before serving.

Serve

garnished with green scallions. Serve suggestions include serving with steamed

rice or quinoa and a vegetable.
