Hoisin Chicken Ingredients
Chicken Drumsticks – you could also use chicken wings or even chicken thighs, you will just need to adjust your cook times.
Cashews – the original recipe used peanuts, but I prefer cashews, you could even replace with peanut butter if you wanted.
Hoisin Sauce – you can use your favourite Hoisin Sauce, this is one I like to use Hoisin Sauce.
Rice Wine Vinegar – you can use any of these instead of rice wine vinegar; apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, lemon or lime juice.
