Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.
- Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, Chinese five-spice powder, and sesame oil in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag, pour half the marinade over them, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Transfer the remaining marinade to a small container, seal it, and refrigerate for later use.
- Remove marinated chicken from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan, bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.
- Brush the thickened marinade over the baked chicken, return to oven, and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until caramelized.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
For maximum flavor, marinate overnight. Always check chicken doneness with a meat thermometer. Adjust Chinese five-spice for personal taste.
