Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs

Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste (natural)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste (natural), minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), sesame oil (natural), honey (natural), and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Marinate the chicken thighs: Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and turn to coat each piece thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2-3 hours, to allow flavors to deeply infuse.
  3. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve the optimal roasting temperature that crisps the skin and locks in moisture.
  4. Roast the chicken: Arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly oiled rack. Roast for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Rest and garnish: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to redistribute. Garnish with freshly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Pat the chicken thighs dry before marinating to ensure crispy skin when roasting.
  • Marinate the chicken for longer if possible for deeper flavor penetration.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to avoid overcooking.
  • Allow the chicken to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before roasting to promote even cooking.
  • Always let the chicken rest after roasting to keep it juicy and tender.
