Hoisin-Glazed Chicken Thighs
Description
Chinese cooks, who know a thing or two about roasting sweet glazed meats and poultry, were the inspiration for this recipe's five-spice rub and glossy glaze.
Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder
•
2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
•
2 tablespoons coarse salt
•
1 tablespoon minced garlic
•
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
•
1 teaspoon dry mustard
•
16 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
•
1 cup hoisin sauce
•
1/4 cup soy sauce
•
2 tablespoons honey
•
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
•
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
•
2 teaspoons minced garlic
•
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
Directions
1
Combine five-spice powder, paprika, salt, garlic, pepper, and mustard in a bowl. Rub over both sides of chicken.
2
Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and five-spice powder in a bowl to create the glaze.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
4
Grill chicken, covered, turning once, until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Continue cooking, covered and turning and brushing with the glaze every 5 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the middle, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
