Really good marinade. I'm not a cook and decided to try this. I used 3 bone in chicken breasts since the family likes white meat. Left it in the oven for only 45 mins and they came out juice. I also omitted the chili paste for the kids. Really easy and quick. Definitely would let it marinade longer, left it in about an hour. Thanks for the recipe!!

I had a few drumsticks to use up so checked some recipes hoping for something different.<br/>Found this recipe and it sounded really good. I made it even though I didn't have Hoisin Sauce, chili paste or dark Sesame oil. Marinated maybe 1/2 hour. <br/>Had all the rest of the ingred. Just winged it with chili powder, olive oil, chopped sweet onion that I put in the marinade. Guessed on amounts but it still tasted wonderful. Can't wait until I have all the proper ingred. . <br/>Next time I will take some of the skin off to cut down of fat.<br/>Served with Basmati rice and a salad and put a little of the sauce on the rice. Thought I died and went to heaven....So, so good!!!

This was very good - very good flavor and I had everything on hand. I omitted the chili paste as my kids don't typically like spicy food and it seemed fine without it. I didn't throw away the marinade and just boiled it down for about 20 mins while the chicken cooked in the oven. I added 1 tsp of cornstarch mixed with water to thicken it up a bit. My daughter (19 months) would ONLY eat the chicken if it had some sauce on it! I used chicken thighs and let it marinate almost 24 hours. Delish! This is going into my "permanent" recipe list! =)
