1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (not seasoned)
2-3 tablespoons honey (my addition)
8 chicken thighs with skin and bones (2 3/4 lb)
Salt

Preheat oven to 425ýF.

Whisk together all ingredients except chicken, then coat chicken all over with sauce. (Cook's Note: Can be baked immediately, or let chicken marinate a couple of hours.)

Arrange thighs, skin sides up in 1 layer without crowding, in a foil-lined large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep). Sprinkle with salt. Roast in upper third of oven until chicken is cooked through and glaze is brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

Makes 4 servings.
