Miso adds so much flavor to miso Japanese dishes, and this one sounded like something we'd all like. So I'm saving this to try in the near future. The recipe calls for white miso which is far milder than the more common red miso (which red miso imparts a much more intense flavor). So feel free to use red miso for a zestier tone to the buttery miso glaze.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 8 - bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds total)

How To Make miso chicken
