The weather is finally getting warm and I am in the mood for some really easy and simple chicken recipe that can be done in under 30 minutes from start to finish.
This hoisin five spice broiled chicken is a really versatile recipe that you can cook in an oven broiler, or with a charcoal grill if you are in the mood for outdoor BBQ, and even pan frying!
The key to this delicious chicken lies in the sauce. But as you can see, this marvelous sauce doesn’t need complicated ingredients at all.
Just from the title, you know you will need some hoisin sauce and five spice powder.
The rest is easy, just some brown sugar (dark is better, but light is okay too), Shaoxing wine, pepper, sesame oil, and garlic.
We are going to use this sauce to baste during broiling (or grilling), and also to coat the chicken once they are out from the oven (or grill).
These chicken can hold their own without any need of additional sauce. But if you love some spicy kick, feel free to dunk them in some sambal oelek (or sriracha) and even more hoisin sauce. A bit of thinly sliced scallions goes really great with these as well.
