Craving Asian food but planning to cook chicken thighs for dinner, I decided to try and combine both worlds. Success! This easy baked chicken recipe is marinated in a simple mixture full of main players when it comes to Asian flavors – hoisin sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. The chicken baked up moist, flavorful and with a crispy skin.
This hoisin baked chicken recipe would be delicious served with fried rice and vegetables. You could easily cook six chicken thighs and still have plenty of sauce.
