Title: Hoisin Sauce Chicken - When you get bored of the norm.
Post by: Jubesbbq on July 26, 2009, 08:28:01 pm
Tried something new this week, sorry no pics.

Hoisin (spl) sauce is available in the Asian section of the store.  Nice sweet sauce that can be kicked up a little.  Here is what I used (+ or -) with great success.

1/2c  Hoisin Sauce
1/4 c seasoned rice wine vinegar
2 to 6 Jalapenos seeded, roasted and diced
1 clove Garlic, roasted and smashed

Mix together and use as a glaze at the end of the cook.  Of course if I am grilling or smoking chicken I always brine the bird.

A nice change of pace, sweet spicy sauce.

Goes great on Leg of Lamb too, but be careful over direct flame, as the high sugar content will burn.

Sounds good, Jeff. I love any BBQ with an oriental twist. I swear by Thai Sweet Chile Sauce on anything and keep it on hand at all times.  :P

I second what MARK say's about the thai sweet chili sauce! Iv'e been using it for 15-20 years and we love it! I always add a little to my stir-fry's, marinades, etc. It's great on grilled chicken wings! It makes a great glaze for ribs too!

As well as hoisin (which cost me dearly at a competition when i took a foolish chance on a hoisin sauce for my ribs), I've also used Chinese XO sauce--it has more of a black bean/garlic flavor with a sweetness to it that's really nice.  If you try XO, go easy--it's strong flavor.

I thought XO was really really good brandy! Or the Executive Officer...
