Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, and ginger. Mix well.
- Add chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Reserve the marinade for later use.
- Bake the chicken thighs for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the skin is crispy.
- While the chicken is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
- Bring the marinade to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and brush it with the thickened sauce. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Garnish the chicken with sliced green onions before serving.
- Serve the Cantonese vinegar chicken hot with steamed rice or noodles.
