This marinade is delicious and the chicken was so tender and moist. Didn’t love the dipping sauce and really don’t think it’s necessary.

AJ

Used 24 oz chicken breast, breasts were thin so didn’t use skewers, baked on sheet pan at 375, after 5 min spooned some marinade over, cooked for additional 4 minutes to reach temp, didn’t have enough hoisin sauce, used about half cup that I had, reduced rice vinegar to one T and sesame oil to 1 T, used slightly under half cup of orange juice from 2 oranges, very good, served over white rice
