Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Hoisin-Glazed Chicken Thighs.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients and grab a mixing bowl.
Step 2
In this bowl, combine the aromatic Chinese five-spice powder, vibrant Hungarian paprika, coarse salt, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and dry mustard.
Step 3
Give it a good mix to create a flavorful spice rub that will elevate your chicken thighs.
Step 4
Next, take those chicken thighs and generously rub the spice mixture all over both sides, making sure they’re well coated for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Now, let’s whip up a delicious glaze! In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweet and savory hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, and an extra teaspoon of five-spice powder.
Step 6
This glaze will add a delightful shine and depth to your chicken as it cooks.
Step 7
It’s time to fire up the grill! Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to keep your chicken from sticking.
Step 8
Once the grill is ready, place the seasoned chicken thighs on it.
Step 9
Cover the grill and let them cook for about 4 to 6 minutes until they develop a lovely golden-brown color.
Step 10
After that, flip the chicken over and reduce the heat to low.
Step 11
Continue grilling the chicken, keeping the lid closed, and turn them occasionally.
Step 12
Every 5 minutes, brush on that luscious glaze you made earlier.
Step 13
This will not only keep the chicken moist but also create a beautiful caramelized finish.
Step 14
Grill until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes more.
Step 15
As the aroma fills the air, you’ll know you’re in for a treat.
Step 16
Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 17
Enjoy your flavorful, grilled chicken thighs that are sure to impress family and friends!.
