Baked Hoisin Chicken
Description
This recipe calls for chicken drumsticks marinated in a blend of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground white pepper to infuse them with Asian-inspired flavors. After marinating, the chicken is baked at a high temperature until cooked thoroughly, then briefly broiled to develop a slightly charred finish that enhances the glaze's caramelization.
The result is chicken with a sticky, flavorful coating that balances sweet and savory notes from the hoisin and soy sauce, accented by the warm aroma of sesame oil and gentle heat from white pepper. Baking ensures the meat remains juicy and tender inside.
For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the sauce to penetrate the meat. The leftover marinade can be simmered and used as an extra glaze to enrich the dish when serving. This baked preparation works well with different chicken parts adjusted for cooking time when needed.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs (750g) chicken drumstick
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 heavy dashes ground white pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (207°C). Combine the chicken with hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking tray lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the inside of the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. Broil for 1-2 minutes to get a nice charred surface.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to fully absorb the flavors before baking.
- You can use other chicken parts such as thighs, breasts, or wings; adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure doneness.
- Simmer the leftover marinade separately to serve as an additional glaze for a more intense flavor.
