A flavorful marinade that combines the sweet and savory notes of hoisin sauce with a zesty kick, perfect for enhancing chicken dishes.
Combine the hoisin sauce, fresh ginger, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, honey, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the chicken in a refrigerator-safe container.
Ensure the container is large enough to hold the chicken and marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated.
Use your hands or a spoon to evenly distribute the marinade over the chicken.
Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
Cook the marinated chicken using your preferred method, such as grilling, baking, or stir-frying.
Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the cooked chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy.
