Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, Chinese five-spice, and sesame oil. Stir until well blended.
- Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag, pour half of the marinade over, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes until browned and juices run clear or internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While chicken is baking, pour reserved marinade into a saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken.
- Brush the thickened marinade over the chicken and broil for additional 2-3 minutes for caramelization.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with scallions and serve warm with jasmine rice and stir-fried vegetables.

Notes
For best results, marinate the chicken overnight. Use a meat thermometer for juiciness, and always keep an eye on the broiler to avoid burning.
