INSTRUCTIONS

For the oven version

Put chicken thighs into a resealable plastic bag. Add the rest of the ingredients including Char Siu Sauce (except for honey/syrup). Rub the bag to mix the marinade and evenly coat it over the chicken. Squeeze out the air then seal the bag. Leave to marinate in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
Preheat a fan oven (convection oven) at 200°C/390°F (if using a conventional oven, set to 220°C/425°F).

Remove the chicken thighs from the bag. Pour about 2 tablespoon of the marinade into a small bowl. Add honey then mix well. Set aside.

Roast the Char Siu marinated chicken for 10 mins. Take out use a baking tray with a wire rack that fits inside. Fill the tray with hot water (lower than the rack) and put the chicken thighs on the rack (skin facing up). Place the tray in the middle of the oven. Roast the Char Siu chicken 20 minutes and flip over the Char Siu chicken. Brush some marinade honey mixture then put back into the oven (Make sure there is always enough water in the tray).Cook for a further 5 mins. Take out the Char Siu chicken. Flip over again and brush with the honey mixture.

Switch your oven to grilling (broiling) function at the highest temperature. Place the Char Siu chicken nearer to the top heat element. Leave to cook (with the oven door slightly ajar) for 2-4 mins until the skin becomes golden with some charred spots. Be attentive and check often during this step to avoid burning. If you have a separate grill oven (broiler), remember to preheat beforehand.

For the air-fryer version

Put chicken wings into a resealable plastic bag. Add the rest of the ingredients including Char Siu Sauce (except for honey/syrup). Rub the bag to mix the marinade and evenly coat it over the chicken. Squeeze out the air then seal the bag. Leave to marinate in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat the air-fryer at 200°C/390°F for 3 mins.

Remove the Char Siu chicken from the bag. Pour about 2 tablespoon of the marinade into a small bowl. Add honey then mix well. Set aside.

Place the Char Siu chicken in a single layer over the crisper tray inside the preheated air fryer. Cook for 4 mins then flip over all the pieces and brush a layer of the marinade honey mixture. Continue cooking for another 4 mins. Then flip over again and brush with the honey mixture. Cook for a final 2-3 mins until the Char Siu chicken browns nicely.
