Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix miso paste, lemongrass, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil to form a glossy glaze.
Step 2: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the glaze evenly over both sides, pressing it into the meat. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 3: For the final touch, sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds over the chicken and broil for 2-3 minutes until the seeds are toasted and the glaze is shiny.
