Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and trim any excess fat. Place them in the prepared baking dish in a single layer, skin-side up.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the marinade mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour half of the hoisin marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reserve the other half of the marinade for basting later.
Step 5
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and brush the reserved marinade over the chicken for added flavor and a glossy finish.
Step 6
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is caramelized and slightly crispy.
Step 7
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve warm with steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
