Serving Size 1

Equipment

  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Mixing bowl and spoon
  • Grill or oven
  • Tongs

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • ½ tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp rice vinegar
  • ¼ tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 chicken thighs

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.
