Delicious Chicken in Hoisin Sauce
Hoisin sauce is one of my favorite sauces in my kitchen pantry. When it comes to Chinese recipes, there are three sauces that are staples: soy sauce, oyster sauce and hoisin sauce.
While I love the savory notes of soy sauce and oyster sauce, Hoisin sauce brings a completely new flavor profile to a dish. It’s savory, sweet and rich at the same time.
To sum up, a little bit of Hoisin sauce adds a lot of depth to the overall taste of any dish. I love it.
This baked hoisin chicken features the best sauce, making the chicken extremely juicy and savory while remaining tender as well. Most importantly, you have got to try it today at home!
Asian Hoisin Chicken
Previously, I shared my Hoisin chicken recipe — silky, smooth, and tender chicken breast in Hoisin sauce. This baked Hoisin chicken takes it to the next level, by roasting the Hoisin-marinated chicken drumsticks in an oven.
As a result, this baked recipe makes sure you have an extremely healthy meal to make at home.
I love Asian-flavored chicken, for example, the super popular and delicious ginger garlic baked chicken and honey lemongrass baked chicken.

We love spicy food and considering adding pepper flakes to this before making in the next few days. Will report back witht the results.
Sure you can!
I believe that avoiding prepared foods would be the first step for you to lose weight. They will often taste fine, but refined foods have very little vitamins and minerals, making you consume more just to have enough strength to get over the day. When you are constantly consuming these foods, switching to whole grains and other complex carbohydrates will help you have more vitality while consuming less. Great blog post.
what to substitute for Hoisin sauce if you don’t have it?

Hello Rasa,I love your recipes. I make them quite often. Thank you so much.
When do u put the sesame seeds on? After u take them out of the oven? Thank You!
I second the other comments! This recipe is soooooooo easy and delicious and it looks stunning too. I made it twice. Didn’t use any sesame oil. Next time I’d like to add some lime juice just to test it out.

Stunning recipe and so easy. I use shoulder filet instead of drumsticks and it also works very well.
