Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a baking dish, whisk together hoisin sauce, water, soy sauce, and oil until smooth.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then add to the dish and turn to coat with the sauce.
- Bake the chicken, turning halfway, until cooked through, about 25–30 minutes; remove from the oven.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the dressing, a bit more oil, and sesame seeds until well mixed.
- Wash, dry, halve the romaine lengthwise, then cut into thin strips. Add the greens and shredded carrots to the dressing and toss to coat.
- To serve, divide the chicken and the salad between plates.
Two tips
- Prep ahead: mix the glaze in the baking dish and refrigerate the chicken overnight before baking.
- For extra savor, add a small splash of soy sauce to the dressing or a drizzle of sesame oil to taste.
