Ingredients
Scale
For the Marinade:
- 2 tbsp miso
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1.25 lb chicken thighs (you can also use breasts, but thighs are more tender!)
- Neutral oil, for cooking
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the miso, mirin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add the chicken to the marinade and toss until fully coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil. Add the garlic and cook for one minute or until fragrant.
- Add the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook until nicely browned on the outside and fully cooked through, turning as needed and spooning the sauce over the chicken as it cooks.
- Remove from heat once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has slightly thickened and glazed the chicken. Serve immediately.
