Ingredients
- Cooking spray or vegetable oil for coating the pan
- 8 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup white miso or red miso for a more intense flavor
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon mirin Japanese rice wine
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar regular or seasoned
- Chopped or sliced green onions for serving optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a shallow baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
- Pat both sides of the chicken thighs dry, season both sides with salt and pepper, and add the thighs to the prepared pan, skin-side up.
- In a medium bowl, combine the miso, butter, honey, mirin, and rice vinegar. Mix well. Spread the mixture all over the chicken thighs. Let stand for 15 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 8 hours).
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees when inserted into the thickest part. Timing will depend on the size of your chicken thighs.
- Top with green onions, if using, and serve.
