Excellent! This is sooooo good. I only made one chicken leg quarter (just for me), but made the full amount of sauce. I made this as directed and would only make one change - make more sauce! It's great over rice too. Since I love Asian food and hoisin, I would think that a little fresh ginger might add to this - although it was perfect as is. Thanks Redsie for a true keeper.

Tagged in Best of 2008 Tag. Instead of legs, I used chicken tenders, so I baked them a total of 35 minutes. We don't like five-spice, so I shook in a little ginger, cinnamon and tiny bit of clove. Otherwise, followed the sauce exactly. DH liked them and so did my 9 yo.

This chicken was great! My company and I really loved it and I will be making again. The flavor was so yummy! I made Asian Noodles to go with it. Such a great combo! Thanks!
