Chicken with Hoisin Tea Sauce is a savory and aromatic dish that is characterized by the unique flavor that is created by the combination of hoisin sauce and tea. This dish is relatively easy to make, and it is a great option for a weeknight meal. The hoisin sauce used in this recipe is a thick, sweet, and savory sauce that is made from fermented soybeans, spices, and sugar. The tea that is used in this recipe is typically a black tea, such as a Lapsang Souchong or a Keemun. The tea adds a subtle smokiness and bitterness to the sauce, which balances out the sweetness of the hoisin sauce.

HOISIN-GLAZED ROAST CHICKEN
Hoisin sauce is a popular Chinese condiment made from fermented soybean paste and seasonings such as garlic, chile peppers and sesame. Here, it's combined with other pantry staples like soy sauce, rice wine and Sichuan peppercorns and used to marinate and then baste roast chicken, dialing up the savory richness of the meat and infusing it with a wonderfully sweet yet salty flavor.

Steps:
- Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the star anise and peppercorns; cook, stirring, until toasted, about 10 seconds. Add the cilantro, scallions and garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce mixture and simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool, then add the chicken and toss. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours.
- Transfer the chicken to a rack set in a roasting pan (reserve the marinade). Refrigerate the chicken, uncovered, about 3 hours to dry out the skin.
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Pour 1/4 inch of water and the reserved marinade into the roasting pan. Roast the chicken 20 minutes. Baste with the pan juices, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until the skin is glazed and a thermometer inserted into a breast registers 160 degrees F, 20 to 25 more minutes. Transfer the chicken (on the rack) to a board. Pour the pan juices into a skillet; simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Drizzle over the chicken.
- Whisk the soy sauce, rice wine, hoisin sauce and honey in a bowl; set aside.

Steps:
- Combine ginger, garlic, half of scallion, soy sauce, sake, hoisin sauce and tea.
- Reserve at least half of this for your sauce, adding the brown sugar to it. Use other half to marinate chicken for at least an hour, in a ziploc bag in the frig (this cuts down on the amount of marinade needed).
- Remove chicken and barbecue (or bake) until cooked through.
- Pour reserved sauce into a small pot and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch and water mixture and cook for a couple minutes, until slightly thickened. Serve chicken topped with reserved scallions. I paired this with brown rice and cucumber salad, but any veggie would probably go great with it.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, measure and chop all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and make sure that you don't miss anything.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. If you can, try to use organic, free-range chicken and fresh vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: The hoisin tea sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to cook the chicken.
Conclusion:
This recipe for chicken with hoisin tea sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is slightly sweet and tangy. Serve the chicken with rice or noodles, and enjoy!
