So easy to make and tasted just as good as a takeaway. Will be making this again for sure. I didn’t have any plum sauce so just used the Hoisin and it was still delicious.

Agree, this is simple and very tasty - I slash the thighs and have my oven at 200 fan so that the skin gets extra crisp and caramelises. Do with a simple stir fry veg (with ginger sticks) and Chinese noodles then I shred the chicken with skin. M&S do a plum sauce with ginger which is really…

Made this for Friday night tea...picked up some pancakes from local chinese takeaway on way home from work, threw some skinless, boneless chicken thighs in oven with sauce. Result...easy and delicious! Definitely need the extra hoisin sauce when serving. Happy kids and husband!
