Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs The star of the dish; tender and cooks quickly for an effortless meal.
For the Miso Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons White Miso Paste Infuses umami flavor; swap for yellow miso if you prefer a milder taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Adds depth and saltiness; use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar Balances sweetness; can be replaced with apple cider vinegar if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Mirin Sweet rice wine that enhances the glaze; substitute with honey and water in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Boosts caramelization; maple syrup works well as a vegan alternative.
For Flavoring
  • 4 cloves Minced Garlic Provides a robust flavor; fresh garlic is ideal, but garlic powder can be a quick stand-in.
  • 2 tablespoons Minced Green Onions Adds a fresh kick; shallots can be used for a different taste profile.

Equipment

  • oven
  • Medium bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine mirin, white miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and the white parts of the minced green onions. Stir well to create a smooth glaze.
  2. Coat the boneless skinless chicken thighs with the miso marinade, ensuring that each piece is evenly covered for maximum flavor.
  3. If using an air fryer, arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer in a parchment-lined basket. Air fry at 375°F for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. For oven preparation, place them on a baking sheet and bake at the same temperature.
  4. After cooking, switch to broil and cook for an additional 2 minutes to develop a crispy exterior. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F for safety.
  5. Baste the chicken with the glorious pan juices for extra flavor. Garnish with the remaining green onions and fresh cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
