Nagoya Aka Miso Tori (nagoya Red Miso Chicken)

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 1/4 cup red miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the red miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to make the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
  4. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
