Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off.
  4. Step 4: Grill chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and chicken is nicely charred.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 4 thinly sliced green onions, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp honey. Warm over low heat for 3 minutes to create a scallion soy glaze.
  6. Step 6: Brush glaze generously over grilled chicken just before serving to add a sweet-savory finish.
