Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Reserve 1/4 of a cup of the marinade for later.

Step 3

Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat, making sure all pieces of chicken are generously covered in the marinade. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-6 hours or overnight. You can also marinate the chicken in a gallon storage bag.

Step 4

When you are ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven's broiler to high and set the rack about 6 inches from the heating element. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush a very thin layer of sesame oil over top.

Step 5

Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and broil for 10-15 minutes on each side, until the edges begin to char.

Step 6

When the chicken is finished cooking, transfer it to a serving dish and brush the remaining sauce on top. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh parsley or green onions.
