Ingredients

• 35 oz or 2.2 lb chicken
• 5 cloves of garlic (peeled)

• 4 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons golden mountain sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon yellow curry paste

Steps

1. 1

   Use a mortar and pestle to finely crush the garlic, black peppercorns, and coriander root.

2. 2

   Combine the crushed herbs and spices with the rest of the ingredients (salt, golden mountain sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, and yellow curry paste) and stir well. Add the chicken and thoroughly coat it with the marinade.

   Place in the chicken thighs in a single layer, skin-side up.

6. 6

   Cook the chicken for approx 25 minutes. Halfway through, flip them. Near the end, flip once more to slightly crisp up the skin.

7. 7

   To ensure the chicken is cooked, ensure the chicken's internal temp hits 165°F (74°C) before serving.

8. 8

   Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).

9. 9

   Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking tray and spread them out, so they're not touching.

    Slide the tray into the oven and bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until golden-brown with crispy edges.
