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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil mode for the last 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Garnish the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.
