Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, and sesame oil. Stir until blended into a smooth marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a 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 in a separate bowl for later use.
- Let the marinated chicken sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the marinated chicken thighs on it, avoiding overcrowding.
Cooking
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.
- After baking, brush the thickened marinade over the chicken and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve with rice, steamed vegetables, or in sandwiches. For longer storage, wrap and freeze the chicken to maintain freshness.
