Name: Chinese BBQ Chicken
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: Marinade:; 2 garlic cloves , minced; 2 tsp brown sugar; 1 1/2 tbsp honey; 1 1/2 tbsp hoisin sauce; 2 tsp oyster sauce; 1 ½ tbsp light soy sauce (or all purpose); 1/2 tsp Chinese five spice powder (Note 1); 1/2 tsp sesame oil (not critical); Few drops red food colouring , optional; Chicken:; 750 g / 1.5lb chicken thigh fillets , skinless boneless (or breast); 1 tbsp vegetable oil; 10 – 12 bamboo skewers , soaked in water for 1 hour (optional); Green onions / scallions , finely sliced, for garnish (optional)

1. Chinese Five Spice Powder is a blend of five spices that is now commonly found at every day supermarkets in the spice section. It is the same prices as other dried herbs and spices. If you can't find it, this will still be super tasty without it because Hoisin Sauce has five spice in it so you will still get a subtle fragrance of it.

2. I like to make this with thigh because it's juicier but it works really well with breast too because the sugar in the marinade makes it caramelise nicely.

3. Oven: Preheat to 220C/425F. Small (150g/5oz) -Bakeon top shelf for 18 minutes, then turn and bake for another 4 minutes. For large (200g/7oz), do 20 minutes then 5 minutes.Grill/Broil: Preheat to medium high, then cook for 6 - 7 minutes on each side (watch carefully, will get dark brown spots and can burn easily due to sugar in marinade).
