How to Make Char Siu Chicken

1. Prepare the marinade:
   In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients until smooth and well combined.

2. Marinate the chicken:
   Add the chicken thighs, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

3. Preheat and prepare the oven:
   Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top.

4. Bake:
   Arrange the marinated chicken on the rack and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

5. Glaze:
   In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the chicken with leftover marinade to get a glossy, sticky finish.

6. Broil for char:
   Broil for 1–2 minutes until lightly charred on the edges.

7. Rest and serve:
   Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve hot with rice, noodles, or steamed greens.
