Steps:
- The night before preparing food, mix together marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
- Place chicken in a ziplock bag and add marinade and seal, removing as much air as possible.

- The next day, well before preparing food, heat oil to a depth of 2-inches at 375-400F in a large skillet or use a deep fryer.
- Add small amounts of mai fun to hot oil and allow them to cook briefly (they will puff like rice cereal and float to the top almost instantly); remove them and drain as soon as they do this and set aside to use later.
- Whisk together ingredients for sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes then remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Bring chicken out of refrigeration and allow to warm to room temp- 30-45 min, then drain from marinade, reserving marinade.
- Bring marinade to a boil in a saucepan, lower heat, and simmer for 2-3 minutes, then allow to cool (if it gets too thick, add a little water); use for basting chicken as it cooks.
- Prepare grill, allowing for cooking with indirect heat.
- Grill chicken using an indirect heat method, preferably charcoal, 45 min-75 min, depending on grill temp, or until chicken reaches an internal temp of at least 170F in the thickest part of the breast, basting occasionally.
- As chicken nears doneness, apply sauce mixture to chicken and allow to glaze and cook onto it, then remove chicken from grill.
- Sprinkle chicken with toasted sesame seeds.
- Arrange a bed of puffed mai fun on a serving plate and arrange chicken on top of it; serve at once with other foods as desired.

Grind the chicken breast meat twice through a meat grinder and place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade.

HOISIN CHICKEN
Based on a recipe from my Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook. I think this is a great recipe that I sometimes serve over steamed rice. Regarding the TECHNIQUE TO CUT CHICKEN CHINESE-STYLE, it is recommended to use either a cleaver or poultry shears or a sharp knife to make easy work of it.

Steps:
- TECHNIQUE TO CUT CHICKEN CHINESE-STYLE:
- Rinse chicken.
- On heavy cutting board, set chicken breast side up.
- Cut in half lengthwise, veering slightly to one or other side of breastbone and backbone; you will have separated the chicken completely in half.
- Remove and discard backbone (optional).
- Raise each leg up slightly from breast section; cut through ball and socket joint to remove each leg. Cut through knee joint of each leg separating drumstick and thigh.
- Pull each wing away from breast, cutting through the joint next to breast.
- Cut each drumstick, thigh and breast piece crosswise into three pieces, cutting completely through bones.
- Cut each wing into two pieces.
- You should end up with 22 small serving-size pieces.
- HOISIN CHICKEN:.
- In small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch, water, sherry, vinegar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce and bouillon granules; mix well. Set aside.
- Add remaining ½ cup cornstarch in large bowl. Add chicken pieces and stir to coat well.
- In large skillet or wok, heat oil over high heat to 375°F Add 1/3 of the chicken pieces, one at a time, to the hot oil; cook until no longer pink in center, about 5 minutes. Drain chicken on paper towels. Repeat until all chicken is cooked.
- Discard all but 2 tablespoons oil from skillet. Add ginger and stir-fry 1 minute. Add onions and stir-fry for another minute. Add broccoli, red pepper and mushrooms and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
- Stir cornstarch mixture and add to skillet. Cook and stir until sauce boils and thickens.
- Return chicken to skillet. Cook and stir until chicken is thoroughly heated, about 2 minutes.
- Serve over hot Vermicelli and garnish, if desired.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the hoisin sauce and spices for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will help to infuse it with flavor and make it more tender.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the chicken and give it a nice charred flavor. If you don't have a grill, you can also use a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: Make sure to leave enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the grill, the chicken will steam instead of grill.
- Cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F: You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. Once it reaches 165°F, it is safe to eat.
- Serve immediately: Grilled hoisin chicken is best served immediately, while it is still hot and juicy. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Grilled hoisin chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The hoisin sauce gives the chicken a sweet and savory flavor, and the grilling process adds a nice charred flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
