In a glass container or plastic bag, place in the chicken thighs and marinade and made sure the chicken is coated. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, shake off any excess marinade from the chicken thighs, and place on the tray skin side up.

Roast the chicken for about 25 minutes, and then brush on Zhong Sauce on the skin. Continue to cook the chicken for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature on a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees.
