Ingredients
-
1/3 cup plum sauce or sweet-sour sauce
-
1/4 cup water
-
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
-
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seed (toasted, if desired)
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
-
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Oriental chili sauce or several dashes bottled hot pepper sauce

6 small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves and/or thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
Directions

For sauce, in a small saucepan combine all of the ingredients except the chicken. Bring to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 3 minutes. Set aside.

In a small saucepan heat the remaining sauce until bubbly; pass with chicken. Makes 6 servings.
