Instructions

In a resealable container, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, and chile paste. Mix thoroughly, then stir in cornstarch until well combined. Add the chicken thighs, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a jelly roll pan or a rimmed cookie sheet with a double layer of aluminum foil, ensuring it's large enough to fully enclose the chicken.
Arrange the chicken thighs evenly on the bottom layer of foil. Pour the marinade over the chicken, then fold the top layer of foil over and wrap tightly to completely cover the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are cooked through and no longer pink, approximately 1 hour. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone to check for an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Unwrap the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
