Complete this Asian-inspired meal with sautéed boy choy and a side of mashed purple yams or simple steamed rice. This hoisin chicken is a no-brainer weeknight dinner because it’s really easy to make and crazy delicious. Most of the preparation time is hands-off which is great news, especially on weeknights when to-do lists are long and the evenings are short. Simply whisk together the sauce ingredients, smother the chicken drumsticks in the sauce, pop them into the oven, and dinner is ready in under an hour. As a main, it pairs perfectly with simple vegetable and rice dishes. It’s an easy weeknight recipe that will leave everyone licking their fingers and asking for more! It makes a delicious cooking sauce or condiment that can be used to marinate chicken or pork, in stir-fry recipes, over sautéed vegetables, to add flavor to noodle soups, or as a dip with spring rolls and egg rolls. Its high sugar content makes it ideal for adding to barbecue marinades and for grilling meats. If hoisin isn’t a sauce you typically have on hand, try it out. You’ll be surprised at how versatile this savory-sweet sauce is!
