A quick and easy Barbecued Pork Chicken recipe that combines tender, juicy chicken thighs with a rich, flavor-packed marinade.

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, mix together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, and sesame oil.
  3. In a large resealable plastic bag, add the chicken thighs and pour half of the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
  4. After marinating, take the chicken out and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  5. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the chicken thighs on it.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until fully cooked.
  7. While the chicken bakes, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken.
  8. After baking, brush the thickened marinade over the chicken, then broil for 2-3 minutes to achieve a charred finish.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a vegan-friendly option, swap honey for maple syrup. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
