Creating Char Siu Chicken is a breeze when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, five-spice powder, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on a grill or a baking sheet if using the oven.
5. Grill or Bake: Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized crust.
6. Baste with Marinade: For added flavor, brush the chicken with reserved marinade during cooking, making sure it reaches the internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
8. Slice: Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, perfect for serving.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a fresh touch.

Following these instructions will yield tender, flavorful Char Siu Chicken that is sure to impress everyone at your table.
