This chicken recipe is super easy and super delicious. It is an update of my popular deli-style Vietnamese roast chicken. I simplified the recipe to use less ingredients but maintain the same great flavor.
This modified recipe only utilizes pantry items so it’s quick to toss together. All the ingredients for the marinade can be found in your typical Asian pantry: oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, ground pepper, cooking wine and of course, the star of them all, Chinese Five Spice.

Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. Then pop them in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the marinade caramelizes into a sticky sweet glaze. Bring these to a party and be loved by many.
