Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and water until smooth.
Add the chicken thighs, turning to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight for a deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat, or preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Grill method: Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, basting occasionally with leftover marinade, until cooked through and slightly charred.Oven method: Place the marinated chicken on a baking rack over a foil-lined tray and bake for 30–35 minutes, basting once halfway through.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with steamed rice, bok choy, or a fresh cucumber salad.
