Irresistible Char Siu Chicken

Print Recipe

Sweet and savory Char Siu Chicken recipe that is easy to prepare and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1/4 cup Hoisin Sauce (or mix soy sauce with sugar)
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon Warm Spices (five-spice powder, or ginger and garlic to taste)
  • 4 pieces Chicken Thighs (skinless)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (optional garnish)
  • 2 stalks Green Onions (or chives)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix honey, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and warm spices (if using).
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes. For best results, marinate for a few hours or overnight.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice and vegetables, or use it in wraps or bowls.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
