Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, Shaoxing wine, five-spice powder, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade for your Chicken Char Siu Recipe.
Step 2: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is coated. Transfer to a container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 3: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire cooling rack on top.
Step 4: Place the marinated chicken on the wire rack, leaving space between pieces. Reserve the excess marinade in a small saucepan.
Step 5: Roast the chicken for 15 minutes. While it roasts, simmer the reserved marinade in the saucepan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until thickened into a glaze.
Step 6: Remove the chicken from the oven and generously brush the thickened glaze over each piece. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 7: For extra char, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Step 8: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain to serve.
