Instructions
Creating Sticky Hoisin Chicken is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and honey (if using). Mix well.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet with the chicken, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may want to add more soy sauce or honey depending on your preference.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
8. Serve: Serve the sticky hoisin chicken hot over cooked rice or noodles.
