Here's the recipe for BBQ Char Siu Chicken Thighs in the Air Fryer:
Ingredients:
8-10 chicken thighs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp crushed garlic
3 tsp sugar
3 tsp char siu sauce
3 tsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp honey
Instructions:
1. Wash and clean the chicken thighs. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Use a sharp knife to make a few slits in each chicken thigh.
2. In a large bowl, sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt, white pepper, 1 tsp sugar, and Chinese five-spice powder.
3. Drizzle the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, Chinese rice wine, and olive oil over the chicken thighs. Mix well to coat evenly.
4. Add in the crushed garlic and mix again. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
5. Preheat the air fryer to 180-200°C (350-400°F).
6. Place the marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Air fry for 10 minutes.
7. Flip the chicken thighs and air fry for another 10 minutes.
8. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the char siu coating sauce. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tsp sugar, 3 tsp char siu sauce, 3 tsp hoisin sauce, and a drizzle of honey.
9. After the chicken has cooked for 20 minutes, remove it from the air fryer and brush or coat both sides generously with the char siu sauce mixture.
10. Return the coated chicken thighs to the air fryer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the glaze is caramelized and slightly charred to your desired level.
11. Remove the BBQ char siu chicken thighs from the air fryer and serve hot. Enjoy!
Notes:
Adjust cooking times as needed based on the size and thickness of your chicken thighs.
For extra char, you can broil the glazed chicken thighs for 1-2 minutes at the end.
Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Thanks for the recipe. Can we use oven instead of fryer. What degrees and how long it takes to cook?
Stick with 180 degree celcius. Cook each side for 10-12 min
Delicious 😋
Thank you 😁👍
How long in an oven.. i dont have air fryer? What temp in oven please. ❤
200 degree, adjust lower if starts to burn
I thought my boy was saying chicken fries. hahah. My fault.
I need to make that😅

You can

Yes you can
How long will fish sauce and oyster sauce last once opened and does it need to be refrigerated once opened?
Just store in area away from sun. We leave it out and last until its finished. 1 year or so timeline
@@CantoneseFoodRecipes Thank you!
👍👍👍
Thanks 😁👍
Some contradictions; you said the first air frying was for 10 minutes at 180C, but you opened up and turned the chicken thighs after only 5 minutes. Towards the end of after glazing with the char siu sauce, again the times recommended weee inconsistent.
Otherwise, thank you for the food effort😬👍👏
Yea first time making this recipe with thighs, if you make you might have to adjust your times
What will happen if there is no soya sauce in China, Japan,Korea philipines I wonder ??
Not sure
I feel so uncomfortable watching this video. You don’t have to hold the meat container while adding your ingredients. It can stay on the table and add/mix the ingredients. But, let me tell you that I will definitely try this.
Ok
You have to clean the fat off. Good recipe, though
Cool
Less talking more cooking! You don’t need to say chicken thighs 100 times
Ok
Could you simply headline yr video with the recipe name instead of "how a chinese chef cooks ... ", reason being the name of the dish cannot be seen on the smartphone. The "how a chinese chef cooks ..." is completely superfluous and irrelevant. Thanks!
Ok
Yummy yummy just for my tummy
Cool
Olive oil??????
Yes
