Instructions
Creating Sticky Hoisin Chicken is as easy as following these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place it in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
4. Add the Marinade: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle sesame oil over the chicken, stirring to combine.
6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
7. Serve Hot: Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
By following these steps, you’ll have a delicious Sticky Hoisin Chicken ready to impress your family and friends!
