Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons miso paste (natural)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 teaspoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together miso paste (natural), minced garlic, apple cider vinegar (natural), maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (natural), sesame oil, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Marinate the chicken thighs: Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
  3. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Set the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up, spacing evenly.
  4. Roast the chicken: Roast the chicken thighs in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 2 to 3 minutes while watching closely.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh finish. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Pat dry the chicken before marinating to achieve crispier skin.
  • Do not skip marinating; even a short time enhances flavor significantly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked chicken.
  • Broil briefly at the end for irresistibly golden, crispy skin.
  • Reserve leftover marinade, boil it, and brush on halfway through roasting for a stronger glaze.
