Ingredients
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 4 tablespoons minced green onions (about 4 stalks)
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
For Garnish:
- Green onions
- Cilantro
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mirin, miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly to form a smooth marinade.
Marinate the Chicken:
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and massage the marinade into the meat, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Prep the Air Fryer:
Line the air fryer tray or basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Cook the Chicken:
Place the marinated chicken in a single layer on the tray or basket, pouring any remaining miso glaze over the top to lock in flavor and ensure juicy results.
Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 20 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through cooking.
Broil for Extra Flavor:
Once done, broil the chicken in the air fryer for an additional 2 minutes to create a golden crust and deepen the color. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Serve and Garnish:
Baste the chicken with leftover pan juices for extra moisture and flavor. Garnish with green onions and cilantro before serving.
Enjoy your flavorful and juicy miso chicken thighs! 🍗
