Hoisin Glazed Chicken Recipe
Description
Chicken drumsticks are arranged in a baking dish and thoroughly coated with a sauce made from hoisin sauce, water, soy sauce, garlic chili sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic. Baking at a high temperature cooks the chicken through while allowing the sauce to thicken and intensify in flavor. A final broil step crisps the skin, creating a slightly caramelized glaze that adheres to the chicken.
The glaze's combination of sweet hoisin and tangy vinegar is balanced by the mild heat of chili sauce and the savory impact of soy sauce and garlic. The chicken skin becomes glossy with the sticky glaze, making each piece richly flavored. This recipe pairs well with rice or steamed vegetables to balance the strong flavors.
If the sauce in the baking dish is too thin, it can be reduced on the stove by boiling rapidly until thickened, or it can be served as-is poured over rice or chicken. The baking time ensures the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature while developing a flavorful crust.
Ingredients
- ½ cup hoisin sauce gluten-free, if needed
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce gluten-free, if needed
- 1 teaspoon garlic chili sauce can sub sriracha
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar can substitute apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 8 chicken drumstick
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk the hoisin sauce, water, soy sauce, garlic chili sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic.
- Lay the chicken drumsticks in a single layer in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Pour the sauce over the top and mix so that the chicken is well-coated in the sauce.
- Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, or until the thickest part of the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Baste the chicken with some of the sauce in the baking dish then broil it for 5 minutes to lightly crisp and brown the skin.
Notes
- If the sauce collected at the bottom of the baking dish seems thin, reduce it by boiling it rapidly in a small pot until it thickens into a glaze consistency.
- Serve the chicken with plain rice and pour the glaze over for added flavor.
