Chicken with Hoisin Sauce Recipe is one of my favorite chicken recipes. It’s quick, simple, and very tasty. The hoisin sauce gives the dish a sweet and salty taste that goes great with chicken. One of the best things about this recipe is that it can be served hot or cold. Make a batch on Sunday and serve it on game day, take it to work in Tupperware for lunch or make some for dinner after a long day at work.

Spicy Skillet Hoisin Chicken Recipe

Whenever you have a really busy day where you feel too tired to even think about cooking, I highly recommend reaching for this easy Skillet Hoisin Chicken. Your body will thank you for cooking at home instead of eating out! Plus, this chicken recipe is so easy to make that you’ll have dinner on the table faster than it’ll take ordering the takeout.

The secret to quick recipes like this is in the sauce. Instead of whipping up my own, requiring measuring, mincing, and whisking, I reach for a delicious jarred Hoisin sauce for the flavor. It’s kind of like an Asian barbecue sauce that’s a bit sweet, a bit savory, and a bit smoky. I love it!

Since I love all things spicy, I add some Asian garlic chili paste to this hoisin chicken recipe to kick things up – but it’s completely optional.

You can also easily add veggies to this dish. I would recommend cooking them first with a bit of oil before cooking the chicken. When you add the Hoisin, add the veggies back in so they stay nice and crispy.

Serve this spicy skillet chicken with some brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice. Mine came from the freezer on this busy night. Any shortcut that gets a healthy dinner on the table is fair game in my book!

Key Ingredients For Spicy Hoisin Chicken

It only takes a few ingredients to make this dish unforgettable. You are going to love this recipe!

Here is a bit more information about what I used.

• Chicken: There are lots of ways that you can prepare chicken. For busy nights, just toss some shredded rotisserie chicken slices in the Hoisin sauce. Or, cut up and cook some boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You could also use chicken thighs or even pre-cooked frozen grilled chicken strips to make dinner even quicker.
• Ginger: I added some fresh ginger to my sauce because I love how it really elevates the taste. However, this is optional. In fact, you can use dried ginger powder instead of fresh ginger in a pinch.
• Hoisin Sauce: Use as much sauce as you need to cover the amount of chicken you prepare. You could make your own Hoisin sauce, but buying the jarred kind is such a time-saver.
• Asian Chili Garlic Paste: Either chili garlic paste or Sriracha are fantastic to add to the sauce if you want it to have some heat. You can also completely omit this if you want to keep this dish on the sweeter side.

Recipe Tips And Ideas

Follow these tips to make sure that this chicken turns out sweet and spicy every single time!

• If you are cooking your chicken, season it before you fry it in the pan. This will help it retain more flavor as it cooks.
• For even more flavor in the dish, marinate the chicken in a bit of Hoisin sauce.
• Saute fresh ginger before you add the Hoisin sauce to the skillet. This will bring out more of its flavor.
• Make this a full meal by cooking the veggies in the same pan that you will use for the chicken. Once they are tender crisp, set them on the side and add the chicken. Toss everything together at the end. Good options include cabbage, broccoli, sugar snap peas, or cauliflower.
