Hoisin BBQ chicken from Cooking Light Cookbook

This recipe is really tasty and the sauce is good on everything!

BBQ Sauce:

2/3c hoisin sauce

3 tbsp rice wine or sake (I used cooking sherry because it was on hand)

3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

3 tbsp ketchup

2 tbsp brown sugar (I used the splenda blend, so only 1 tbsp)

1 tbsp minced garlic

remaining ingredients:

8 skinless chicken legs (about 2 lbs)

8 skinless chicken thighs (about 2 lbs)

cooking spray

1. Prepare bbq sauce by combining first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl. Place 3/4 c sauce in a cup/bowl and refrigerate.

2.Take remaining 3/4c sauce and pour over chicken, either in a large bowl or large ziplock bag. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

4. Remove chicken from marinade and reserve for basting once during cooking. Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes, turn chicken, baste with resreved marinade(not the sauce you set aside in the separate cup/bowl). Bake additional 20 minutes, or until done. Discard marinade.

5 bring remaining sauce (the stuff you set aside) to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce heat and cook until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Drizzle chicken with sauce.

Yield 8 servings (1 drumstick, 1 leg, 1 tbsp sauce)
