Step-by-Step Instructions for Char Siu Chicken
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, five-spice powder, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until well blended.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the lined baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Roast for 45–55 minutes, basting every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and skin is caramelized.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
