Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

4 boneless chicken thighs

1/4 cup white miso paste

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons mirin

1 tablespoon sake

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon chopped scallions, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine white miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sake, sesame oil, sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

2. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage to coat the chicken thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.

4. Grill the chicken thighs for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and the chicken is caramelized and cooked through.

5. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

6. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.

Storage

Store any leftover grilled chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating

For best results, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
