Method
- 1 Make two deep incisions down to the bone on the inside of the chicken thigh to allow the seasoning to penetrate deep into the thick meat.
- 2 Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, and pepper for 2 hours, without adding honey.
- 3 Bake at 190 degrees for 30 minutes, skin side up.
- 4 Mix the honey with the marinade and brush it on three times during the last 12 minutes.
- 5 Brush with honey at the final stage because honey will burn black after only 15 minutes at 190 degrees; sprinkle with sesame seeds when serving.
