Recipe Instructions:
-
Mix marinade: In a bowl, combine hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cider vinegar.
-
Marinate chicken: Place the chicken breast halves in a large plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag securely, then massage the marinade into the chicken until evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning occasionally for maximum flavor infusion (overnight marination is recommended for best results).
-
Preheat oven: When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Arrange chicken: Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and transfer it to a glass baking dish, arranging the chicken pieces in a single layer.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the chicken, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Optionally, you can sprinkle sesame seeds over the chicken during the last few minutes of baking for added flavor and presentation.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional sesame seeds if desired. This succulent hoisin-marinated chicken pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or your favorite stir-fried vegetables. Enjoy the delicious fusion of flavors!
