Miso Glazed Chicken Thighs

This easy miso glazed chicken thigh recipe makes for a mouthwatering weeknight meal that you can meal prep ahead of time. The flavorful miso sauce not only packs a ton of umami flavor but also creates a beautiful glaze on the juicy chicken thighs as it caramelizes. Whether you’re cooking for guests or planning quick dinners, this versatile dish has got you covered.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Marinating the chicken thighs in miso, seasons them through while making this a great prep-ahead recipe.
  • Ginger contains an enzyme that tenderizes the thigh meat, rendering it juicy and delicious.
  • Scraping the marinade off before roasting it keeps it from burning, and by reserving a small amount of marinade, you can glaze it at the end to give it a nice thick coating of miso sauce.

Ingredients

  • Mirin – Mirin is a sweet rice wine that adds umami while balancing out the salty flavor of the miso paste.
  • Sake – This is another Japanese rice wine that adds umami while tenderizing the chicken. Please do not substitute rice vinegar, as it will make your chicken too sour.
  • Honey – Sweet honey helps caramelize the miso glaze, giving the chicken a beautiful golden-brown color. Maple syrup or brown sugar can be used for a different flavor profile.
  • Organic Miso Red – The longer aging period used to make red miso gives it a rich, savory flavor that’s more earthy and nutty than white miso paste. If you can’t find it, other types of miso, such as yellow miso paste or white miso, will work for a milder flavor.
  • Ginger – Fresh ginger contains enzymes that help tenderize the chicken thighs while adding a wonderful fresh zing. You can also grate in a few cloves garlic for additional depth of flavor.
  • Chicken Thighs – Boneless, skin-on thighs are ideal for this miso-glazed chicken recipe. They remain juicy and tender while developing crispy skin. Other types of chicken, such as bone in drumsticks, skinless chicken thighs, or skinless chicken breasts, will work, but you may need to adjust the cooking time to account for different thicknesses of the meat. 
  • Garnish – You can optionally garnish these miso glazed chicken thighs with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, or chili flakes for a pop of color and extra flavor. 

How to Make Miso Chicken Thighs

To prepare the miso marinade, combine the mirin, sake, and honey in a pot and bring the mixture to a boil. This step serves two purposes: it reduces the liquid, concentrates the flavors, and allows the alcohol to evaporate, leaving behind the essence of these ingredients.

Next, incorporate the red miso and grated ginger into the reduced liquid. Continue cooking the miso sauce until it becomes thick and glossy. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool.

Once the marinade has cooled completely, layer the chicken thighs with the miso marinade in an airtight container, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Ideally, you’ll want to do this at least 3 hours in advance to give the flavors to penetrate deeper into the meat.

When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or foil and placing a rack on top. This setup allows hot air to circulate around the chicken pieces, promoting even cooking and helping to crisp up the skin. Before roasting, it’s important to remove excess marinade from the chicken with paper towels.

This prevents burning and allows the skin to crisp up properly. Place the chicken thighs skin side up on the baking tray and roast in a 400°F (205°C) oven for 15 minutes. Then, brush the leftover miso glaze onto the chicken skin. Return the miso chicken to the oven and continue roasting until the glaze is shiny and caramelized (another couple of minutes).

Serving Suggestions

Chop the miso chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and turn it into a complete meal, serving it over a bowl of steamed rice along with some colorful vegetables such as broccoli, butternut squash, or snap peas. If you’re avoiding carbs, you can also serve this miso chicken recipe on a green salad with Miso Vinaigrette, or cauliflower rice. To turn up the heat, try adding some chili paste to the marinade before you baste the chicken.

Trimmed_Garlic Miso Chicken Wings-4377

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken wings (flats/drumettes) (5 flatsand 5 drumettes)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp KODAWATTEMASU ORGANIC MISO
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Mirin

【For Serving】

  • Shichimi togarashi (Japaneseseven spice) (for a spicy kick)
  • Japanese mayonnaise (optional; for dipping)

Instructions

Before You Start

  • Please note that this recipe requires a marinating time of at least 6 hours (or overnight). Now, gather all the ingredients.

To Marinate the Wings

  • In a resealable plastic bag, combine minced garlic, miso, soy sauce, and mirin. Mix it together well to dissolve the miso.
  • Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels and prick the skin with a fork. Transfer the wings to the resealable plastic bag.
  • Rub the wings really well from outside the bag, coating them with the marinade. Release the air from the bag and seal.Keep the wings in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight)or up to a day; if you are using drumsticks, you can marinate for 1–2 days.

To Cook the Wings

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC) with the rack in the middle position. Meanwhile, remove the chicken wings from the refrigerator and leave at room temperature for 15 minutes. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easier clean up) and place an oven-safe wire rack on top.
  • After 15 minutes, remove as much of the marinade as possible from the chicken since miso burns easily. Place the chicken on the wire rack skin side down. Bake at 425ºF (220ºC) for 30 minutes.
  • At the 30-minute mark, flip the wings. Put them back in the oven for another 15 minutes. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature is 165ºF (74ºC).

To Serve

  • Serve immediately with optional Japanese mayonnaise and shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice) on the side for dipping.

To Store

  • You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer fora month.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 pieces Skin-on chicken thighs without bone Boneless,skin-on thighs: We can get this type of chicken very easily in Japan (or Japanese grocery stores in your country) as we need them for Karaage and other recipes. However, here in the US, you can only find boneless skinless thighs or bone-in skin-on thighs. What I do is to buy one-in, skin-on thighs and ask the butcher to remove bones. You save time on removing bones yourself and they may ask you if you want to keep the bones to make soup stock etc.
  • 1 cup (240 ml) SHIO KOJI
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine shio koji and soy sauce in a bowl or measuring cup.
  • Season both sides of the chicken thigh with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Pour the shio koji mixture and coat the chicken well on both sides. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (minimum) to 3 hours.
  • Remove the shio koji as much as possible and transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • If you have the oven temperature probe, insert the stem of the probe into the thickest part of the chicken, or in the center of the chicken if it is even in thickness.
  • Bake at 350 ºF (180 ºC) until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 ºF (74 ºC), roughly 25 minutes.
  • When the internal temperature is close to165 ºF (74 ºC), change the oven setting from Bake to Broil. Broil the chicken until the skin has nice char, about 3-5 minutes (depending on how far the chicken is from the heat source). Remove from the oven.
  • Cut the chicken thigh into 4 pieces (if you eat with chopsticks) and serve immediately.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless chicken thigh with skin cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 tbsp. SHIO KOJI
  • 1 tsp. grated ginger
  • 1 tsp. crushed grated garlic
  • 1 tsp. soy sauce
  • ½ cup potato starch or corn starch
  • Vegetable/canola oil for deep frying
  • Lemon wedges to serve

Instructions

  • Combine the chicken with Hikari Miso Shio Koji, ginger, garlic and soy sauce in a bowl or large plastic bag and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 day).
  • Heat up a pot of cooking oil for deep-frying. Ideal temperature is about 320-335F (160-170C).
  • When the oil is almost ready, add the potato starch in the bowl or plastic bag with the chicken. Mix and coat the chicken with the starch.
  • Gently drop each piece of chicken into the pot and deep fry until golden brown.
  • When it’s done, transfer the chicken onto a plate lined with paper towels. Continue with a new batch to deep fry. Serve immediately with slices of lemon.
