Spicy Hoisin Chicken
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (not seasoned rice vinegar)
8 chicken thighs with skin and bones (about 2 3/4 lb)
Preheat oven to 500 degree F. (Please note: I use 400 degrees)
Whisk together all ingredients except chicken, then coat chicken all over with sauce. Arrange thighs, skin sides up in 1 layer without crowding, in a foil-lined large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep). Roast in upper third of oven until chicken is cooked through and glaze is brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
Makes 4 servings.

Turkey Thigh option:
Moyn’s notes 1/15/04: I used two turkey thighs (skin on, bone in) weighing about 3-3/4 lb total. I made the sauce, as written, using about double the garlic & ginger, & more soy & adding chili garlic sauce & some black vinegar, allowing the turkey to marinate, all day, before roasting. As they roasted, I basted a few times and served sprinkled with chopped scallion & black sesame seeds. It tasted like a succulent roast duckling, yummmm!!
