Steps
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, honey, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. For best results, let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200 °C) (200°C (400 °F)).
Place the chicken on a rack over a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing with any remaining marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and the edges are charred and caramelized.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a more authentic color, you can add a drop of red food coloring or a teaspoon of beet powder to the marinade.
