A delightful twist on a classic Asian-inspired chicken dish, perfect for a flavorful dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Slice the scallion greens thinly and set aside. Mince the scallion whites.
Using fresh scallions adds a vibrant flavor to the dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the scallion whites, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, five-spice powder, and honey.
Whisking ensures the ingredients are well combined for an even coating.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce.
Ensure each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
Arrange the chicken in the prepared baking dish, pouring any remaining sauce over the top.
Spacing the chicken evenly helps it cook uniformly.
Bake the chicken for 1 hour, turning halfway through, until fully cooked.
Turning the chicken ensures even cooking and a nice glaze.
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, drizzle with any remaining sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallion greens.
Adding the garnish just before serving keeps it fresh and vibrant.
