A delicious and versatile Char Siu Chicken marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, and sesame oil.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag.
  4. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
  5. Cover and refrigerate the remaining marinade separately.
  6. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  7. Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  9. While the chicken is cooking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan.
  10. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken.
  11. Brush the cooked chicken with the thickened marinade.
  12. Broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  13. Once the chicken is caramelized and slightly charred, remove it from the oven.
  14. Let the Char Siu Chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  15. Enjoy your homemade Char Siu Chicken!
