five spice chicken

This oven-baked five spice chicken is an easy dinner we used to make on busy weeknights. With just 9 ingredients, it&#x27;s easy to prepare ahead of time, economical, and most importantly, very tasty.

Oven-Baked Five Spice Chicken

soy sauce

salt

five spice powder

red onion ((minced))

garlic ((minced))

shaoxing wine ((or dry cooking sherry))

sesame oil

bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Combine the soy sauce, salt, five spice, red onion, garlic, oil, shaoxing wine (or sherry), and sesame oil in a mixing bowl and set aside. Pat the chicken dry and add it to the marinade, making sure to get the marinade under the skin of the chicken. Marinate overnight or at least 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with non-stick foil or parchment paper. Place the chicken on the pan and roast for 35-40 minutes.

If the chicken has not crisped up in that time, turn on the broiler for a few minutes, but don&#x27;t walk away while this is happening, or they may burn!

The chicken is cooked through when you stick a fork in the side and the juices run clear. Serve with steamed rice and a vegetable for a complete dinner!

Flavorful Pan-seared, Five-Spice Chicken with Roasted Plum Sauce- infused with ginger and garlic. A delicious Chinese-inspired dinner highlighting juicy red plums.

Five-Spice Chicken with Roasted Plum Sauce

five-spice powder

garlic powder

pepper

onion

plums

garlic

olive oil

soy sauce (or GF liquid aminos)

water (optional)

maple syrup

cayenne- optional

rice wine vinegar (optional)

Make the Five-Spice Spice rub

. Mix the ground five-spice, salt, granulated garlic and pepper in a small bowl.

Roast the plums

Slice the onion and plums and place in a 9 x13 inch baking dish or edged sheet-pan. Add the whole garlic cloves and slices of ginger and drizzle with oil generously to coat. Toss well and place in the hot oven. Check at 15 minutes, (set a timer) toss, lowering the heat to 4ooF.

Prep the chicken

While the plums are roasting, cook the chicken. Pat dry the chicken and coat all sides generously with the Five-Spice Rub seasoning.

Pan-sear Chicken

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and once hot, pan sear the chicken skin-side-down until golden and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes, checking heat and lowering if browning too fast. Turn over and sear the other side 3-4 minutes.

Nestle the chicken

over the roasting plums. (See note below) If the plums look especially ready to come out ( juicy, roasted with tender garlic and very tender onions), feel free to lower the heat even further, down to 375. Basically, it all depends on how fast you cook your chicken. 🙂 If it takes a while to get the chicken seared, your plums may already be done and ready to come out. Use your best judgment here. The chicken will need 15-20 minutes of roasting time. You can of course finish cooking the chicken separately if the timing is off and plums look done.

When the chicken is cooked through (165-170F), remove it from the oven and set the chicken aside, covered. Let the chicken rest 5-10 minutes while you blend the Plum Sauce.

Roasted Plum Sauce

 scrape out the plums, onions, and all the juices and browned bits from the pan into a blender. Add the soy sauce and pepper. Blend until silky smooth. Add a little water to loosen the sauce -1 to 3 tablespoons or more. Blend again. Taste. Add honey and vinegar to taste. All plums have different levels of sweetness and tartness. For example, I added 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon vinegar. If your sauce is too sweet, add more vinegar, if too tangy add honey. If too salty, add more water. For a bit of a kick add chili flakes or cayenne.

Place the Roasted Plum Sauce in a saucepan and gently warm over low heat until ready to serve.

Ladle some roasted plum sauce on a plate, top with the chicken, and garnish with scallions, chives, or cilantro.

All your recipes are exceptionally good. So innovative! Thank you for sharing

This was divine. The combination of flavors were absolutely perfect.

This was delicious! Going to add to my recipe archive.

Made this for dinner and even the fussy eater liked it.  The 5-spice rubbed chicken was excellent alone but the plum sauce really topped it off.  I really appreciated the notes about the sauce.  At first it was too tart so I added a bit more honey.  Seems like common sense but I wouldn't have thought to do that.   Thanks again, Sylvia for another awesome recipe.

Loved this! Coated tofu with the 5 spice seasoning, seared over high heat and then served over fresh baby spinach. Plum sauce is unique &amp; quite flavorful. My 13 year old daughter really liked it too. Will definitively add this to my summer recipe rotation. Thanks for such a wonderful website!

This was another fantastic recipe that my husband and I both loved! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and just cooked them until done in the skillet. I skip the baking step in the oven for the chicken. I doubled the sauce so I could freeze half of it. Also, the grocery store was out of fresh ginger, so I just added 1/4 tsp ground ginger to the blender with the other spices. I cooked forbidden rice to accompany the dish and garnished with fresh cilantro. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes with the world!

Such a wonderful, unique, delicious flavor combination! I've made this a few times now, and bought double the plumbs this past time so I can freeze to make more later! I'm low carb so I just sub the honey for the equivalent of monk fruit extract. I also had to cut out soy for a while, and it was still wonderful just subbing in some salt and MSG for the soy sauce.

Phenomenal recipe for when you have a lot of extra in-season plums around- like me the other week! I loved the five-spice chicken from this dish, however, so just made it stand-alone with Sylvia's sweet and spicy roasted moroccan carrots and smashed potatoes and it was a delightful for when you have other in-season vegetables on hand.

We made it with elephant heart plums and it was so good! Had sauce leftovers for dessert :)

LOVE this, made a small batch of sauce with my small juice blender, ended up a bit messy but it is so worth it. The 5 spiced chicken goes exceptionally well with the sauce, will make this recipe again for sure!

Easy homemade Chinese five spice chicken recipe made of juicy tender roasted chicken with Classic Asian five spice marinade sauce. Serve with a bowl of jasmine rice and steamed vegetables.

Chinese Five Spice Chicken

Whole Chicken (About 1.5 kg/53 ounces

tbsp Light soy sauce

tbsp Dark soy sauce

Salt

White pepper powder (Or black pepper)

tsp Chinese five spice powder

tbsp Shao Xing Wine

tsp Grated garlic

Sugar (optional)

Ginger

Spring onions white part

Honey

Leftover sauce from chicken marinade

Water

Cut the skin-on whole chicken into big pieces. If you are using pre-cut chicken, you can skip this step.

Pat dry the chicken with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and trim off excess fat. Cut the legs off by the joint between the body and thigh. Remove the backbone by using kitchen scissors. Cut the wings part through the natural joint. Place the chicken breast side down and press down with a knife at the center of the cartilage and breast bone. Flip and cut through the chicken breast skin in the middle. See detailed in photo and video instructions.

Cut the chicken

In a large mixing bowl add all the marinade ingredients and whisk everything well. Then add the cut chicken pieces and coat each chicken piece with the marinade sauce mix. Then cover it with the cling film and keep it in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Marinade overnight

Take the marinated chicken out of the fridge and leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes before adding it to the oven. Cover the baking tray with kitchen foil and place the rack over it.

Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the rack, and add the tray in the middle of the oven. Leave to bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F ) for 25-30 minutes.

Meanwhile, the chicken is roasting you can prepare the basting sauce. In a small pot, add the leftover sauce from the chicken marinade. Then add honey, cooking oil, and water. Heat the pot to boil then lower the heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce starts to get thickened.

Then remove it from heat and set it aside. After 30 minutes of baking, baste each chicken piece with the basting sauce. Then place it in the oven and continue roasting at 180°C  (350°F ) for another 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.

Brush with the basting sauce and chop into medium slices or pieces. Enjoy with steamed rice and blanched vegetables.

red pepper flakes

Chinese Five Spice Powder

chicken drumsticks

Mix sauce

Combine sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat.

A popular Vietnamese chicken recipe that can be grilled for a smoky flavor or roasted for a quick weeknight dinner. Infused with Chinese five spice, it's perfect with steamed rice or in a classic bánh mì.

Vietnamese Lemongrass Roast Chicken (Gà Nướng)

lbs chicken thighs

all-purpose soy sauce

fish sauce

honey

sugar

Shaoxing cooking wine

black pepper

lemongrass

Make the marinade

Mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, sugar, cooking wine, five-spice powder, black pepper, garlic, and lemongrass in a bowl. Adjust the quantities to taste. This sauce is sweet and savory, but if you find it too sweet, reduce the amount of sugar to suit your preference.

Prepare the chicken

For bone-in chicken, use scissors or a knife to cut the meat around the bone so that it lays flat for faster and even cooking. Marinate the chicken with the mixture for at least one hour or overnight in the fridge for best results.

Roast

Line a roasting pan with foil to reduce cleanup. Place a wire rack on top if you have one. If not, you can place the chicken directly on the foil-lined tray. Arrange the chicken, skin-side down if applicable. For boneless chicken thighs, cook at 400°F for 15 minutes, then flip and cook for another 15 minutes. For bone-in chicken thighs, cook for 20 minutes per side.

Broil

To get beautiful, crispy, and slightly charred skin, transfer the tray to the highest rack in the oven. Baste with pan drippings on both sides. Switch the oven setting to broil at 550°F (the highest broil setting) and broil for 1-2 minutes per side until you get your desired finish.

The best most authentic Vietnamese marinade I have found! This dish is Delish!!!!One of my all time favs now.Please try it... You won’t be disappointed!

I am so happy I found your website!  My initial search was for pickled carrot &amp; daikon to complete my Banh Mi.  Saying this will make me feel really old... but I remembered when Bank Mi used to cost $1! Perfect price for a college student at San Jose State University.  Aside from the crazy price of $8-10 sandwich, I found most places skimmed on the pickled garnish simply because most westerners don't like them. There are tons of websites out there for Vietnamese dish recipes, but I found yours to have better layout and to the point.  Your site made me excited to make more dishes at home.  Especially when a bowl of Pho is up to $18!  I remembered when it was $3!  LOL.

Hello Vicky, thx for the recipe.  Yours comparing to mine, (mine) which is a bit too strong (sweeter &amp; saltier), which I do not care for much but my foreign friends 🤣 . I will refine my recipe to your measurement.  

In event I offend you in anyway, my apology.  However, I found the Chinese 5-spice is too pungent/strong for VNms recipes, which I had used before while temporary living in Shanghai,  until someone suggested the VNms version.  This simple change brought back so many pleasant memories and taste of delicious gà/ thịt nướng sả ớt (cơm gà) of my childhood in VN. Along those long inter-province stops from Kiên Giang to Sài Gòn.

Thanks again.
