Best Smoky Hoisin Glazed Chicken Recipes

SMOKY HOISIN-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine the butter, paprika, and pepper and rub on the chicken. Combine the hoisin sauce and Italian dressing and set aside.
• Rig a wire cooling rack on top of a 9x13 pan if you don't have a rack that comes with your roasting pan. Roast until the meat registers 180 degrees, about 1 hr., depending on the chicken. Baste generously with the sauce twice with the hoisin mix twice during the last 20 minutes of roasting.
• Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

SMOKED GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the brine: Combine the first 10 ingredients, bring to a boil, then let cool.
• Add maple extract and liquid smoke.
• Rinse chicken and pat dry.
• Brine chicken for at least 4 hours. Overnight is fine, but no more than 12 hours.
• Remove pieces, rinse in cold water and pat dry.
• Coat with oil and season with Cajun seasoning.
• Prepare smoker and smoke chicken at 230 degrees for about two hours, basting with mop every 30 minutes.
• For the mop: Combine vinegar, water, salt, and pepper in a pot and bring to a boil. Remove as set aside.
• When chicken is nearly done, coat with glaze and move pieces to a hot grill to finish cooking and crisp the skin. This will only take a few minutes per side.
• For the glaze: Combine 3 parts butter to one part honey. Make as much as you need to finish the job.
• Remove and serve immediately.
• Have copies of the recipe available, because you will be asked.

HOISIN-GLAZED ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the star anise and peppercorns; cook, stirring, until toasted, about 10 seconds. Add the cilantro, scallions and garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce mixture and simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool, then add the chicken and toss. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours.
• Transfer the chicken to a rack set in a roasting pan (reserve the marinade). Refrigerate the chicken, uncovered, about 3 hours to dry out the skin.
• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Pour 1/4 inch of water and the reserved marinade into the roasting pan. Roast the chicken 20 minutes. Baste with the pan juices, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until the skin is glazed and a thermometer inserted into a breast registers 160 degrees F, 20 to 25 more minutes. Transfer the chicken (on the rack) to a board. Pour the pan juices into a skillet; simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Drizzle over the chicken.
• Whisk the soy sauce, rice wine, hoisin sauce and honey in a bowl; set aside.
