Ingredients:
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free miso paste
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes adjust to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped for garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
Turn on the oven and heat it up to 400F 200C
Soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper should all be mixed together in a bowl with a whisk
Put the chicken thighs in a large plastic bag that can be closed again or a shallow dish
Mix the miso and ginger together and pour it over the chicken, making sure to cover every piece
For the best flavor, let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours
Set a big skillet that can go in the oven on medium-high heat
Toss the chicken thighs in the hot oil, skin side down
Cook for three to four minutes, until the chicken is golden brown
For an extra 34 minutes, flip the chicken thighs over and sear the other side
Place the skillet in an oven that has already been heated up
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way through, the juices run clear, and the internal temperature reaches 165F 74C
After taking the chicken out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes
Before serving, top with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds
