For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Hoisin Sauce Substitution: Teriyaki sauce can be used but will alter the flavor profile.

  • 1/4 cup Honey Note: Maple syrup can be substituted for a vegan alternative.
For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Boneless Chicken Thighs Substitution: Chicken breasts are an alternative, but they may dry out more quickly during cooking.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sticky Hoisin Chicken
  1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour in the hoisin sauce and coat evenly. Marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
  2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes until hot.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Cook the marinated chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side until golden-brown and caramelized.
  4. Glaze the Chicken: Brush a light layer of additional hoisin sauce over the chicken in the last few minutes of cooking.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few moments before slicing and serving over rice or veggies.
