Ready? Let’s get started. You will need:

Ingredients

• chicken thighs:  bone-in, skin-on
• miso paste
• ginger
• garlic
• lemon
• sesame oil
• rice vinegar
• coconut aminos: or tamari or soy sauce
• chili garlic sauce

How to make Miso-Ginger Chicken Thighs

• Begin by mixing the sauce ingredients in a blender or mini food processor, if you have one.
• Heat a little oil in a skillet. When it ripples, add the chicken thighs (which you have patted dry) skin side down. If you give the pan a little shake, the chicken won’t stick.
• Let it brown for 4 to 5 minutes on one side without touching it, then turn the pieces over and do the same on the other side. The fat will be released and you’ll be left with crispy skin.
• Drain the excess fat.
• Pour the sauce over top of the chicken thighs, spreading it evenly with a brush or the back of a spoon and put the skillet in the oven.
• Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until a meat thermometer indicates the internal temperature has reached at least 165°F.

That’s it! Enjoy this Asian-inspired chicken and watch it become one of your go-to meals!
