Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and vegetable oil to create the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and rub with the Chinese five spice powder, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat.

Step 3

Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up, and discard any excess marinade.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and caramelized.

Step 7

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and serve with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
