Hoisin - Ginger Marinade

Chicken gets really boring to me.  I have several marinades I use to spicy up chicken in an attempt to make chicken taste less bland.  Marinades are usually super quick and super easy for adding flavor.

This marinade is a Weight Watchers one found in The New Complete Cookbook. It's PointsPlus value 1.  57 calories.  That's not very much to add flavor.

I let the chicken marinade for an hour and saved some aside before marinating to baste the chicken on the grill. Really didn't need to do the basting, but it was nice to have some extra flavor.

Hoisin Ginger Marinade
Serves 4
Points Plus 1

1/2 c ketchup
2 T hoisin sauce
2 T reduced sodium soy sauce
2 T rice vinegar
1 piece (about 1" long) fresh ginger; peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

Stir it all together. Put in the meat of your choice. Voila!
