Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cups Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, and sesame oil to create the glaze.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
Transfer the seared chicken thighs to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up. Brush a generous amount of the hoisin glaze on each piece.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, basting with additional glaze halfway through the baking time, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice or a side of your choice for a complete meal.
