Ingredients
  

Chicken and Marinade Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs Use thighs for enhanced flavor and tenderness.
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Reserve the remaining marinade in a separate bowl for later use.
  5. Let the marinated chicken sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
  6. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the marinated chicken thighs on it, avoiding overcrowding.
Cooking
  1. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  2. While the chicken is baking, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.
  3. After baking, brush the thickened marinade over the chicken and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  4. 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.
