I hope you’re not afraid to get your hands sticky! This Asian-inspired glazed hoisin chicken is all about the salty, sweet, robust flavor of hoisin sauce. Chicken drumsticks are smothered in a uniquely flavorful dark-brown sauce and baked to a crisp in the oven. The result is savory, tender, juicy chicken that’s ready in under an hour.
This hoisin chicken is a no-brainer weeknight dinner because it’s incredibly easy to make and seriously delicious. Most of the prep is hands-off, which is a win on busy evenings when the to-do list is long and time is short.
Just whisk together the sauce (which features hoisin, soy, garlic-chili sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic), coat the chicken drumsticks, pop them into the oven, and dinner is ready in under an hour. Served with simple rice and vegetables, it’s the kind of easy meal that has everyone licking their fingers and asking for seconds.
What to serve with hoisin glazed chicken
I like to serve this with a simple vegetable like sautéed bok choy and a side of steamed rice but it also goes really well with crispy garlic smashed red potatoes , kung pao cauliflower , or something lighter like Asian salad or carrot ginger salad .
