Hoisin Garlic Chicken

Juicy chicken in a sweet and savory sauce

Some good chicken goes a long way. A classic chicken dish with a Chinese touch is Honey garlic chicken, and I decided to create my own take on this popular dish. The result is this Hoisin garlic chicken.

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts
  • Flour
  • Butter
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Soy sauce (dark)
  • Hoisin sauce (sub with honey if not available for a more popular honey garlic chicken)
  • Apple vinegar

Cooking plan

  • Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Make sure your chicken breasts are cut into relatively thin steaks, as otherwise they won’t be cooked evenly.
  • Melt some butter in a pan on high heat.
  • Cover your chicken in flour and cook it on both sides for about 3 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, mince some garlic and ginger. Once your chicken is browned, lower the heat and add these aromatics.
  • Finally, create a sauce by adding soy sauce, apple vinegar and hoisin sauce to taste. I usually do a 2:1:1 ratio.
  • Serve with rice

ENJOY!!
