This was a delicious meal. I loved the chicken as did everyone else. An added bonus was how quick it was to put together and cook. I mixed the marinade up in less than five minutes and mixed it with the chicken. Next time I think I'll freeze the meat in the marinade so it has some added time to pick up the flavors. I used chicken tenders since I had them on hand and it took about 8 minutes to cook them on the grill. The whole time spent working on this meal was less than 15 minutes. I served grilled pineapple rings with the chicken.

Hoisin has such a great flavor. I love it. This recipe looks healthy and appetizing.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll make this tonight and serve with Jasmine rice. Yum!! And I think sesame oil is one of my favorite smells (at least light sesame, I don't think I have dark? I'll have to look)
ReplyDeleteLove recipes with Hoisin :)
ReplyDeleteI made this last night. Served the chicken wrapped in lettuce leaves with julienned cucumber and thin sliced cabbage for crunch. Dipped it in spicy peanut sauce (I think I took it to non-light status. LOL) But...it was delicious. The chicken had great flavor.
ReplyDeleteSo simple to done! Thank you for idea. I will definitely try this idea. Have a great day!
