Roasted to crisp perfection, this simple and quick recipe is perfect for family meals or entertaining, delivering a perfect balance of crispy skin and juicy meat with versatile serving options.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (natural)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together white miso paste (natural), honey (natural), minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and massage to coat each piece evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure crispy, caramelized skin while keeping the meat tender.
  4. Arrange and Roast: Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a natural non-stick surface. Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up, spaced evenly. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the skin is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after roasting to redistribute the juices for maximum tenderness.

Notes

  • Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for maximum flavor and juiciness.
  • Marinate overnight for the best depth of flavor.
  • Pat chicken dry before roasting to achieve crispier skin.
  • Roast on the middle oven rack for even heat distribution.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through without overcooking.
