Ingredients for Asian Baked Chicken In Vinegar Sauce

  • Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Hoisin Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

How to Make Asian Baked Chicken In Vinegar Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. (Internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C)
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
