Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time40 minutes
Total Time1 hour
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs bone-in, skin on
  • 1/4 cup white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste or grated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste or grated ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 9x13x2 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and set them aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup white miso paste, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon garlic paste, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon ginger paste until smooth.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and rub the miso mixture over each piece to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate in the mixture for 10 minutes.
  • Place the chicken thighs skin-side up in the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. Brush any remaining marinade over the tops.
  • Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is browned and slightly crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
