• servings: 3 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

450g boneless, skinless chicken thigh, raw

3 tbsp of soy sauce

3 tbsp of hoisin sauce

5 tbsp of honey

6 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tbsp of rice wine vinegar

1 tsp of sesame oil

1/2 tsp of five spice powder

3 tbsp of water

Msg or salt and pepper, to taste

Red food coloring

Directions

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, five spice powder, water, seasoning, and red food coloring.

Add the chicken thighs, poke holes with a fork, and mix well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and place the chicken (skin side down if using skin-on). Sear for 3–4 minutes until browned.

Flip and pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for another 8–10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens into a glaze.

Rest briefly, then slice and serve with the remaining sauce from the pan.
