Hoisin Chicken

This is great with rice that has been cooked in part water and pineapple juice. When cooked, add crushed pineapple and sliced scallions to hot rice. If you like, add a tablespoon or two of soy sauce.


2/3 cup hoisin sauce
( A little on the spicy side. Taste and adjust amount used.)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth 1 tsp. ground coriander
2 Tbs. maple syrup 1/2 tsp. pepper flakes, opt.
2 Tbs. honey 1/4 tsp. dry mustard
2 Tbs. soy sauce 4 lbs. chicken, cut up or your favorite pieces
1/2 - 3/4 tsp. Chinese five-spice powder

In a freezer-style plastic bag combine everything except the chicken. Shake bag to mix well. Place in a bowl in case you have a leaky bag. Rinse chicken pieces and pat dry with paper toweling. Place in bag, moving chicken pieces about to coat with mixture. Refrigerate for 1 or 2 days, turning occasionally. Place chicken and marinade in a sprayed 13” x 9” baking dish. Bake at 350F for 1 1/2 hours, uncovered. When done skin will be well browned. Serves 4. Try this for an appetizer with chicken wings.
