Misoyaki Chicken is a delicious Japanese-American dish that combines the flavors of miso paste and soy sauce with tender chicken thighs. This recipe provides step-by-step instructions on how to make the perfect misoyaki chicken at home. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful sauce, then grilled or broiled until cooked through and caramelized.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup miso paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for a more intense flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
4. Brush the grill grates or broiler pan with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
6. Place the chicken thighs on the grill or broiler pan, skin-side down.
7. Cook the chicken for about 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. While the chicken is cooking, brush it with the remaining marinade every few minutes to add flavor and create a sticky glaze.
9. Once the chicken is cooked through and caramelized, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
10. Serve the misoyaki chicken hot with steamed rice and your choice of vegetables.
