You'll enjoy Asian BBQ-Glazed Chicken, a delicious, easy dish featuring chicken thighs and legs coated in Asian-style BBQ sauce and baked!
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. finely grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 pinch red chili flakes
- 4 medium chicken thighs (bone in-skin on)
- 4 medium chicken legs (bone in-skin on)
-
Preheat oven to 400℉ (or 204.44℃). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Measure sauce ingredients into a small saucepan; stir well to combine. Simmer on LOW heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 3-4 minutes, sauce will thicken slightly. Remove pan from heat source; set aside.
-
Pat chicken dry with paper towels; place each piece on prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece. Lightly season both sides of chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
-
Use a pastry brush to THINLY brush BBQ sauce to chicken on both sides, adding only enough sauce to barely cover the chicken (remaining sauce is for later).
-
Bake chicken (on a middle rack) at 400°F. for 20 minutes, then remove pan from oven. Brush a THICK coating of BBQ sauce on each piece of chicken, using all the remaining BBQ sauce. Put chicken back in oven; bake it for 15-20 more minutes (time will depend on size of chicken pieces) OR until chicken reaches a safe internal temp. of 165°F. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part to check.
-
When chicken is done, let it rest a minute, then transfer pieces to a serving plate. Garnish chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
NOTE: The caloric calculation for the chicken is an estimate only using a software tracker, because the weight/size of the chicken pieces will vary per user. It is also based on each person consuming one chicken thigh AND one chicken leg (this amount or combination of pieces eaten may also vary per your needs). The ingredients used for the sauce may vary calorically as well, depending on the brands used.
