Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons minced green onions

Chicken

  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs

Garnish

  • Additional green onions, minced
  • Cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the white miso paste, rice vinegar, mirin, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and minced green onions to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the miso mixture. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
  3. Arrange Chicken for Cooking: Place the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on an air fryer basket or baking tray. Pour all the remaining miso glaze on top of the chicken for extra flavor.
  4. Air Fry Chicken: Cook the chicken in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. Broil for Crispiness: After air frying, broil the chicken for 2 minutes to develop a nice caramelized crust and appealing color.
  6. Check Doneness: Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to confirm it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  7. Serve: Baste the chicken lightly with any leftover pan juices, then garnish with additional minced green onions and cilantro leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Oven Instructions: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Bake the chicken for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through. Broil for 2 minutes to develop crust and color. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Bone-in chicken may require more cooking time.
  • Grill Instructions: Grill chicken thighs or breasts for 10 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Using an instant-read thermometer is recommended for safely checking doneness.
  • Allow the chicken to rest a few minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
