Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 large chicken breasts skinless
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic and chili flakes.
  3. Place chicken in a 9" x 13" baking pan and pour sauce on top. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink.
  4. Remove cooked chicken from pan and shred with two forks. Set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water making a slurry. Set aside.
  6. Put the liquid from the chicken in a small saucepan and bring to a slight boil over medium-high heat. Add cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Pour sauce over shredded chicken and mix until all pieces are coated with the sauce.

Notes

  • Ways to Shred Chicken
  • Chicken breasts are easiest to shred. I don't recommend using skin-on and bone in chicken. 
  • Another way to shred the chicken is with your hands. Simply pull apart the chicken piece by piece. 
  • Use a hand mixer. Place the chicken in a deep bowl and place the mixer over the chicken and turn on.  It'll take just a minute to shred the chicken.  This method also works using a stand mixer with the dough paddle.
