Description
A simple recipe for flavorful chicken glazed with hoisin sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
- Add the chicken pieces to the sauce mixture and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, reserving any excess marinade. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides and nearly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry and pour it into the simmering sauce. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and coated in the thick sauce.
- Serve immediately.
