Chinese Chicken with Pancakes

This is the second time I’ve cooked this dish and was surprised that after the first time I didn’t actually post the recipe for you guys to enjoy. My sincere apologies but here it is!

Most people associate Chinese pancakes with crispy duck and rightfully so! It’s delicious and the combination of shredded duck along with the sweetness of the hoisin sauce are truly an exceptional pairing. But after trying out shredded chicken with this delicious sauce, I’d have to say that this recipe is right up there.

I’d say it was a lot more straightforward in terms of cooking the chicken thighs over cooking duck. You simply add the thighs to the tray, pour over the sauce and roast.

There’s nothing tricky about this recipe and yet there’s something quite special about it. You don’t need to order an expensive takeaway to enjoy these delicious dishes, just follow this recipe and you’ll love it just the same!
