    This Asian-inspired recipe for one pan spicy miso-ginger chicken thighs makes an easy weeknight meal that just might become one of your go-to dinners! Paleo and Whole30 compliant.

    One Pan Spicy Miso-Ginger Chicken Thighs

    One-pan Miso-Ginger Chicken Thighs make a quick weeknight meal with an easy 3-step recipe!

    Brown the chicken, pour the sauce over and bake in the oven. That's all you have to do to create this recipe for one pan spicy miso-ginger chicken thighs!

    The crispy skin keeps the meat juicy and tender in this succulent chicken dish. It's a little spicy, a little sweet, and a little salty. It has rapidly become one of our favourites, along with this Easy Lemon Baked Chicken.

    One Pan Spicy Miso-Ginger Chicken Thighs

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

    Ingredients for Miso Chicken

    • 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.

        Hi Darcie,
        When the oil becomes very hot, you'll notice that it start to ripple, or make little waves in the pan. When it does that, you'll know it's hot enough to sear the chicken. Hope that helps!
