Hoisin Ginger Glazed Chicken

By Marge Perry & David Bonom

This sweet and salty chicken is a real crowd-pleaser. Make the glaze a day or two ahead and keep refrigerated. The chicken may also be cooked 1-2 days in advance through step #2. Just before serving, re-heat the chicken on the grill pan (or outdoor grill); glaze it in the final two minutes of cooking.
