In a container with a cover, combine hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, five-spice powder, ginger, garlic & some salt & pepper.
Add chicken thighs to marinade & toss to coat. Cover & refrigerate for about 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Arrange chicken thighs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes until cooked through, basting at least once. If using cashews, remove chicken from oven & stir through chicken. Bake 5 minutes more.
Prepare rice while chicken is baking. Arrange on a platter & top with chicken thighs. Garnish with green onions.
