Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Gather all the ingredients. Ensure chicken thighs are thawed, mince garlic, and peel ginger.
Whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a medium bowl. Add chicken and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet with oil over medium-high heat.
Sear marinated chicken thighs in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour leftover marinade over the chicken, transfer to the oven, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
