Ingredients

8 Chicken Thighs
4 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
2 tsp Sesame Oil
2 tbsp Clear Honey
1.5 tsp Chinese Five-spice Powder
20 g Ginger (peeled and grated or 1 heaped tbsp jarred minced ginger)
2 Garlic Cloves (grated or 1 heaped tsp jarred minced garlic)
1 Spring Onions (chunkily chopped)
50 g Salted Peanuts
Microwave Rice (for serving)

Instructions

Bottom of the Pot

1
Put the chicken thighs into a suitable roasting dish and slash the skin 2-3 times on each thigh.
2
In a separate bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, sesame oil, clear honey, Chinese five-spice powder, grated ginger, and grated garlic. Season this mixture with salt and pepper.
3
Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the dish with clingfilm and place it in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
4
When ready to cook, place the cook & crisp tray in the bottom position of the Ninja Speedi. Add the marinated chicken dish to the tray.
5
Set the Ninja Speedi to Bake/Roast at 200°C for 20 minutes, turning the chicken at least once during cooking. If the chicken starts to brown too much, cover it with foil or a silicone mat.

Crisping Tray

6
After 20 minutes, stir through the salted peanuts and sprinkle the chopped spring onions over the chicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes on the same setting and temperature.
7
To serve, divide the microwaved rice between 4 bowls. Top each bowl with the sticky five-spice chicken, spoon over some of the sauce, and garnish with remaining peanuts and spring onions. Enjoy!
