Ingredients
- 4 (skin-on, 6 oz each) bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 lb, cut into 1-inch cubes potatoes
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 1 lb cubed potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried rosemary; spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub the miso glaze evenly over all sides.
- Step 3: Place chicken thighs on top of the potatoes on the baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, then flip chicken and continue roasting for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and potatoes are golden and crispy around the edges.
