Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
- 0.5 cups Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 pieces Green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place them skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the leftover marinade for basting.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade once or twice during cooking to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil mode for the last 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Once cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C), remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.
