Directions

  1. Rinse the thighs and cut each one in half. Pierce the skin with a knife to allow the marinade to penetrate better.
  2. Combine the hoisin sauce, salt, pepper, powdered bouillon, and oil in a small bowl. Spread it over the meat and let it marinate overnight or for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Brush the meat with the sauce, then bake for 30 minutes.
  4. After 15 minutes, flip the pieces over and brush them with the sauce again.
  5. Three minutes before the end of cooking, switch the oven to broil at 250 °C to crisp the skin, then remove the chicken from the oven.
