Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 Chicken Thighs - boneless & skinless, approx 5oz/140g each
  • 3 tbsp White Miso
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 cloves Garlic - minced
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger - minced

Optional To Serve:

  • Sesame Seeds
  • Scallions (Spring Onions) - sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (210°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  • Make the miso glaze by combining the white miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger in a large bowl.
  • Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Add the chicken to the bowl and thoroughly massage the glaze into the meat so it is evenly coated.
  • Place the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer so they cook evenly.
  • Using a spoon or a basting brush, generously coat each chicken thigh with any leftover miso glaze, making sure to cover all sides.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-35 minutes, turning half way through
  • The chicken is fully cooked once the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) or there is no sign of pink when you cut into the thickest part.
  • Optional: If you like your chicken to be a darker brown, turn the oven to broil (or grill in the UK)
  • Grill on high for around 3 minutes, watching carefully, until chicken starts to turn a deep brown color.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onion if using. Serve!
