Char Siu Chicken
Serves 3 | Prep Time: 10 Mins | Cook Time: 20 – 30 Mins

Ingredients:

1 lb (450 g) bone-in chicken thighs
2 cloves garlic, minced

Char Siu Sauce:

2 pieces Chinese fermented red bean curd, optional
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Chinese Shaoxing wine or rice wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper powder
3 1/2 oz (100 g) sugar, or 8 1/2 tablespoons

Method:

In a bowl, mix all the Char Siu Sauce ingredients together. Stir to mix well. Add the garlic, chicken and the Char Siu Sauce together. Stir to coat well. (You may use half of the Char Siu Sauce to marinate the chicken and save the other half).

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20 minutes or until the skin is nicely charred. Slice the chicken into pieces and top with sesame seeds. Save the dripping and serve immediately with steamed rice.
