Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
• 2 tablespoons chile-garlic paste
• 10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized cubes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, and chile paste in a resealable container. Mix well. Stir in cornstarch. Add chicken to marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a jelly roll pan or rimmed cookie sheet with a double layer of foil large enough to envelop the chicken.

Step 3

Spread chicken evenly over the bottom layer of foil. Top with the marinade, fold the upper layer of foil on top, and wrap to fully cover chicken.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until chicken thighs are no longer pink, about 1 hour. Unwrap and sprinkle with cilantro.
