1/4 cup hoisin sauce
03 -
2 tablespoons soy sauce
04 -
2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon oyster sauce
06 -
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
07 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
08 -
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
09 -
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
02 -
In a bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, and sesame oil.
03 -
Place chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Reserve the remaining marinade covered in the refrigerator.
04 -
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
05 -
Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
06 -
While the chicken is cooking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
07 -
Brush cooked chicken with the thickened marinade. Broil for 2-3 minutes until caramelized and lightly charred, watching closely to prevent burning.
08 -
Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
# Extra Information:
01 -
For deeper flavor, marinate chicken for up to 24 hours.
02 -
Adjust marinade with chili paste or red pepper flakes for added heat.
03 -
Broil with attention as sugar content may cause quick browning.
04 -
Serve over steamed rice or alongside stir-fried vegetables for a balanced meal.
05 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
