Preparation steps
1. Prepare the chicken
Bone the chicken thighs, keeping the pieces flat. Pat dry with paper towels.

Blend or chop the onion, lemongrass, garlic, chili pepper, oyster sauce, honey, and Chinese cooking wine. Coat the chicken with this marinade and let it rest for 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Roll the chicken
Roll each leg into a roll and tie with kitchen string to hold the shape.
4. Roast the chicken
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the chicken on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes, turning regularly. Then increase the temperature to 220°C and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
5. Prepare the sauce
In a small saucepan, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey, water, and vinegar. Sauté garlic and ginger in a little oil, then add the sauce mixture. Cook over low heat until slightly syrupy.
6. Finish and serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove the string, cut into slices, and drizzle with the honey and ginger sauce. Serve warm.
