Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or boneless, your choice)
- 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced or grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to form the marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then rub them with the vegetable oil. Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up if using bone-in and skin-on pieces.
Brush the hoisin marinade generously over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve warm with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
