Ingredients
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons ground white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 2 pounds chicken (whole or cuts like thighs, drumsticks, or breasts)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry white wine, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, ground white pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped green onions to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
Step 3
Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 4
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then place it in the refrigerator. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight for more intense flavor.
Step 5
Before cooking, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Step 6
Cook the chicken using your preferred method, such as grilling, roasting, or pan-searing, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Serve and enjoy!
