Best ever, crowd pleasing Sticky Hoisin Honey Chicken with a sweet savory glaze. Easy to prepare using only a few simple ingredients.

Crowd pleasing Sticky Hoisin Honey Chicken with a sweet savory glaze.

Hoisin sauce, sometimes known as Chinese barbecue sauce is perhaps my most favorite sauce after soy sauce. It has a sweet salty flavor and I use it frequently in my vegetable stir fries and as a marinade for meats. Hoisin sauce can be easily purchased in most Asian grocery stores.

A Honey Sesame Chicken Variation

Today’s Sticky Hoisin Honey Chicken is a variation on the popular honey sesame chicken. The addition of hoisin sauce and sesame oil give the glaze a more complex flavor that is absolutely marvelous. The rich reddish brown color makes the chicken look really appealing and appetizing.

Making a Tasty Glaze From Meat Juices

Meat juices are unavoidable when roasting marinated meats in a baking tray. It is a actually a good thing because it keeps the meat moist and tender. Simply strain the juices and thicken it on the stove to make a tasty glaze. Then brush the glaze back onto the meat to finish the roasting for that perfect glisten and shine.

    I will be making this tonight. I am going to marinate mini chicken drumettes in the hoisin honey sauce. Then I will occasionally be basting the wings while in oven with a separate batch of the sauce. Once they are ready, I will remove from oven & toss them in a bowl of hoisin honey sauce mixed with finely diced thai chilies for that kick of heat!
