Be the first to write a review

By , About.com Guide

Chinese seasonings such as hoisin and oyster sauce add a different flavor to this easy barbecue sauce recipe.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
  • 4 teaspoons light soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

Preparation:

Whisk together all the ingredients. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for at least an hour to give the ingredients a chance to blend. Quickly whisk the sauce again before using, brushing on the meat or poultry during grilling. If not using immediately, keep the sauce stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within 7 days.

This would work as a sauce with 4 chicken breast halves (8 to 10 ounces each) or even as a marinade for the chicken (for best results when marinating chicken, double the recipe for 4 chicken breast halves. With a knife, make a few shallow, crosswise cuts in each breast to allow the marinade to penetrate. Pour the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag, add the chicken breasts and seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally). It can also be used as a sauce to brush on grilling steak.
