One Pan Hoisin Chicken and Pak Choi
This one pan wonder is guaranteed to be a mid-week hit. Sweet and succulent chicken drumsticks, roasted pak choi and a few sliced chillies for a little kick (if you wish). We love to serve this with white rice and all the sticky pan juices. 👋 for the best result, marinate your chicken drumsticks the day before.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan. Mix the hoisin sauce with a splash of water, Chinese 5 spice and the ginger and garlic paste in a bowl. Add the chicken drumsticks and season with salt and pepper. This can be done a day in advance if you wish as it will improve the flavour and tenderise the chicken. When ready to cook, transfer the chicken into a baking dish (reserving any leftover marinade) and place it into the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reserve the marinade for later.
Step 2
Remove the partly cooked chicken and add the washed and quartered pak choi and the chopped spring onions. Spoon on the remaining ** hoisin marinade** and season again with a little salt and pepper. Coat the pak choi in the juices and add 1 sliced red chilli (if using). Try to lift the chicken drumsticks so they are sitting on top of the pak choi and tuck in any leaves to stop them from getting overly crispy. Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes. If cooking raw rice from scratch, get this on now.
Step 3
Remove the now-cooked chicken from the oven and allow it to rest while you heat the cooked white rice according to the packet instructions. Divide the rice, chicken and pak choi between four plates, squeeze on a wedge of lime and scatter over a few sesame seeds, (if using). Don't forget to drizzle on the roasting juices.
