Ingredients
– 1 Β½ lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
– 2 tablespoons white miso paste
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon honey (can be substituted with maple syrup, brown sugar, or granulated sugar)
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 2 teaspoons minced garlic
– 1 teaspoon grated ginger (or ΒΌ teaspoon ginger powder)
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil for cooking
– sesame seeds for garnish
– chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
1-Getting started with miso chicken: First, mix your marinade by whisking together the white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until itβs smooth and well blended. This takes just a few minutes and sets the stage for flavorful results.
2-Marinate the chicken: Once ready, place the chicken thighs in a dish or bag, coat them evenly with the marinade, and let them sit.
3-Marinating time: Marinating is key, so let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the fridge for deeper flavors.
4-Cooking the chicken: Next, heat your oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken, making sure to save the extra marinade. Cook each side for about 5 to 6 minutes until itβs fully done, then add the reserved marinade back in for the last couple of minutes.
5-Serving suggestions: Serving is simple: pair the chicken with rice, noodles, or veggies for a complete meal. For an extra touch, sprinkle on sesame seeds and green onions. This method keeps things easy while ensuring juicy, tasty chicken every time.
