Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (207°C).

  4. Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake it for 30 to 35 minutes. Ensure the inside is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink.
  5. Broil the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes after baking for a charred surface.
  6. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Serve the Baked Hoisin Chicken immediately with your choice of sides.

Notes

  • Marination Tip: Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavors.
  • Cooking Options: Substitute chicken parts like thighs or wings, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Extra Glaze: Simmer leftover marinade to create a glaze for serving.
  • Cooking Temperature: A consistent oven temperature is key for even cooking.
