Ingredients
- 6 boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp miso
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1-1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1-1/2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
To garnish (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped green onion
- 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Pound the chicken thighs with a meat hammer to even out the thickness and tenderize them.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients until well blended. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss well to coat evenly.
- Preheat the oven to broil. Adjust the oven rack to about 5-6 inches below the heat source. Place the miso-marinated chicken on a greased rack over a baking sheet. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until the edges are slightly charred, watching carefully to avoid burning the chicken as miso can burn easily.
- Take the baking sheet out, flip the chicken thighs, and broil for another 3-5 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch bite-sized strips for easy serving with chopsticks. Garnish with chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice.
