Lemon Hoisin Glazed Chicken Recipes

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.

HOISIN-GLAZED SESAME CHICKEN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter (see Cook's Note).
• Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat until warm. Add the onions, garlic, ginger and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, stir together the panko and milk in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes, then transfer to the large bowl. Add the chicken, soy sauce and eggs and mix together with your hands just until combined. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake the meatloaf for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the hoisin sauce and blackberry jam in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until smooth and warm, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush generously with the hoisin glaze. Return to the oven and continue to bake until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

(You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze.
