This dish was delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the glaze was flavorful. I served it with roasted asparagus and cherry rice, and it was a perfect meal.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a little less hoisin sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of hoisin sauce, but this dish was still really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the glaze was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would probably use a different sauce.

The chicken was cooked perfectly and the glaze was flavorful, but the asparagus was a bit overcooked.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the glaze was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the chicken next time.
