PEKING STYLE CHICKEN



Peking Style Chicken image

This is a dish we were served one night on one of the Princess Cruise ships. Tender, with a wonderful flavour. Of course when they served it, it was "dressed to the nines". When I make it at home, I serve it with rice and a vegetable. ;) This is also great served in a wrap. NOTE: For those thinking of substituting Splenda for the sugar, please read the review posted by Oolala on Feb 11/09. Thanks Oolala for the heads up.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 (6- to 7-inch) flour tortillas
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mild honey
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 lb skinless boneless chicken thighs (about 6)
1 large plum, quartered, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (1 cup)
3 scallions, trimmed and cut lengthwise into 2-inch-long slivers

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler and lightly oil rack of a broiler pan.
  • Stack tortillas and wrap in foil. Stir together hoisin, soy, honey, ginger, vinegar, garlic, and cayenne in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart saucepan.
  • Toss chicken with 3 tablespoons sauce in a large bowl to coat, then broil 2 to 3 inches from heat, without turning, rotating pan halfway through broiling, until cooked through and deep golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes.
  • While chicken is broiling, put tortillas on bottom rack of oven to warm.
  • Boil sauce until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes, then add plum and simmer, stirring, 2 minutes.
  • Cut chicken crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • To eat, wrap up chicken, plum sauce, and scallions in tortillas.

Tips:

  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into it and making sure that the juices run clear.
  • For a crispier chicken, double-fry it. Fry the chicken once at a lower temperature (300°F or 149°C) for about 10 minutes, then let it cool slightly. Then, fry the chicken again at a higher temperature (350°F or 177°C) for about 5 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy.
  • If you don't have cornstarch, you can use all-purpose flour instead. However, the chicken will not be as crispy.
  • To make a gluten-free version of this recipe, use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free cornstarch.

Conclusion:

Peking-style chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is flavorful and addictive. This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
