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 500̊F.
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.

Pat’s notes: Delicious, definitely a keeper! Good with steamed jasmine rice and salad of spring mix with tomatoes, cucumbers, blue cheese and ranch dressing. Made it another time using turkey thighs per Moyn's notes below and her tweaks of adding chile garlic sauce, more garlic, ginger and soy (it's an easy sauce recipe to dink around with)...reduced the oven temp to 400 and roasted longer, until the turkey thighs were done. Was great served with Michelle/CA’s Sesame Rice (recipe below) and snow peas that were blanched and shocked then sauteed lightly in a tiny amount of olive oil then finished with a drizzle of sesame oil, salt and pepper.
Moyn’s notes: 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!!
Sesame Rice
Serves 4
2 cups water
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp butter
1 cup rice
dash white pepper
1/2 tsp salt, optional
1-2 tbsp dark sesame oil
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds (Pat’s note: used some black sesame seeds too...nice color contrast)
1/4 cup green onions sliced, include green tops
Boil water in a medium saucepan and add salt and butter. Bring to a boil and add rice. Boil for 2 minutes, then cover and simmer for 18 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and cover with a paper towel and replace lid. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Fluff again and add 1 or 2 tablespoons sesame oil, white pepper, salt, sesame seeds and green onions.
Pat’s notes: Very tasty. Great accompaniment to Spicy Hoisin Chicken (used turkey thighs) and snow peas. Leftovers nice for lunch the next day too.
