We like this with Plenty of brown rice to catch the extra sauce. Adding the chicken frozen slows down the cooking somewhat, but this is still a relatively quick dish. Found in Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook.

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 TBL frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/4 c honey
2 TBL soy sauce
2 TBL hoisin sauce
3 slices peeled fresh ginger, about 1/4" thick
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 TBL sesame oil

2 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp cold water
1 TBL sesame seeds (toasted)

For sauce, strain sauce through fine mesh strainer into small saucepan over high heat. Stir in small bowl the cornstarch with cold water. Bring sauce to boil then add slurry and cook, stirring a few times, until thickened, 1-2 min. Pour over chicken or just pass around. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh oranges, hoisin sauce, and ginger will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Make Sure the Sauce is Thick and Sticky: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables. If it's too thin, add a little cornstarch or arrowroot powder to thicken it up.
  • Serve with Rice: Orange hoisin chicken is traditionally served with rice. Jasmine rice or brown rice are both good choices.

Orange hoisin chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
