America's Test Kitchen Recipe For Chinese Char Siu Pork

I decided to try making Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork) using America's Test Kitchen's recipe as seen on this video: https://youtu.be/eRWvWV0UtJI

Turned out pretty good!  If you follow it as I've described here, it works great.  I changed their recipe by moving the oven to 350 instead of 300 degrees though.

Here's the recipe:

America’s Test Kitchen Char Siu

Marinade:

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup dry sherry (I used Rice Wine)

6 TBSP Hoisan Sauce

2 TBSP Grated Ginger

1 TBSP Sesame Oil

1 TSP Chinese Five Spice

1/4 TSP White Ground Pepper

Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade for making a glaze

To make the glaze:

Add 1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup Ketchup

Medium heat for 5 minutes to make glaze

Marinate meat for at least 30 mins to 4 hours in a big bag (I did 24 hours)

To cook, use a rack

Line pan with aluminum foil and spray the rack

Put 1/4 cup of water in pan

Cover with foil

Bake for 1 hour at 300 degrees (I did it at 350 degrees) and put foil on top of the pan

Take off foil after 20 minutes and then continue cooking for the remaining 40 minutes.

Remove pan after the one hour and turn on broiler.

Put the meat back in broiler now for 7 minutes to dry out the meat a bit.

Take out meat and then glaze and broil again for 5 minutes.  Repeat for the second side for 5 minutes.
Keep an eye on this process with the broiler as it can burn fast at this point due to the sugar in the honey.

Rest for 10 minutes at least
