Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and pepper in a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken. Transfer 1/4 cup of the mixture to a small bowl, and reserve for glazing. Add the chicken to the baking dish, turning to coat. cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (or, alternately, heat the broiler). Grill the chicken 3 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. Brush with some of the reserved glaze, turn, and cook 30 seconds more. Move to a platter; shower with the scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.
