Miso Jidori Chicken Thighs
This dish is not just flavorful; it’s also visually appealing. The golden-brown chicken thighs, paired with an array of vibrant colors from the veggies, create a feast for your eyes.
Ingredients:
- 4 Jidori chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Green onions, for garnish
- Steamed rice, to serve
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper until fully combined. This marinade will serve as the flavor base for the chicken.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each thigh is well-coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow the excess marinade to drip off.
- Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side up. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices within the meat.
- Slice the chicken and serve it over a bed of steamed rice. Garnish with chopped green onions for an added flavor boost and freshness. Enjoy your delicious Miso Jidori Chicken Thighs!
