  • Marinade Ingredients – Feel free to change the marinade ingredients. Add in tbsp of honey, black pepper, or any Asian Spices. You can even add in sesame oil to the marinade.
  • Cooking Chicken – We love the flavor that the gas grill gives the chicken. But you can also cook it on a charcoal grill or as a stir-fry on the stove top. We have even baked this chicken in the oven for a delicious baked hoisin chicken recipe.

Recipe Tips

  • Cook Chicken – Cook chicken on a hot grill for the best results. You may need to oil the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Marinating Chicken – For the best flavor, make sure to marinate the chicken for at least and hour. Keep in the fridge while marinating.
  • Chicken – When preparing your chicken, make sure that they are all even thickness. We like to even pound out the chicken or filet it.
  • Allow Chicken to rest – After chicken is done cooking, make sure you allow chicken to rest.
