Main Dish

Maple Teriyaki Chicken puts a delicious twist on classic teriyaki chicken by adding pure maple syrup to the sweet-and-savory sauce. Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and vinegar round out the flavor, while a few hours of marinating help the chicken soak up every bit of the delicious sauce. For an easy party appetizer, try making this recipe with chicken wings.

Ingredients
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 pounds chicken pieces

Instructions

1. Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. Add chicken pieces and stir well to coat. Place in refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a baking sheet.
3. Arrange chicken on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until well browned.

Maple Teriyaki Chicken: Using chicken legs. Do I take the skin off the chicken to use in this recipe. Also my rice vinegar is approximately 2 years old and does not smell or look cloudy. Do you suppose it is safe to use. Thank you. I'm going to make these tomorrow using old rice vinegar and though I should leave the skin on. Please respond and thank you.

Hi, Deborah. You can keep the skin on the chicken for this recipe. As for the rice vinegar, if the bottle has not been opened and was stored properly, you can use it without issue. If the bottle has been opened, you can still use it though the flavor may be lacking. Two years is the cut off date for open vinegar. We would recommend replacing it very soon.
