Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the marinade is well combined.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up (if using skin-on thighs).
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer. Baste the chicken with the leftover marinade halfway through cooking to add extra flavor.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, broil the chicken for an additional 2–3 minutes after baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes like steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a fresh salad.
