Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs trimmed

Marinade

  • ½ cup Awase miso (half white, half red miso)
  • ½ cup mirin
  • ¼ cup sake
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken about 24 hours before cooking. Put the miso and mirin in a medium bowl. Whisk until the miso is creamy. Add in the sake and sugar. Mix well.
  • Place the chicken into a storage bag or shallow container that will allow the chicken to fit in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the chicken and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  • After the chicken has marinated for 24 hours, turn on the oven broiler function to high. Line a baking sheet with foil and put a broiler rack on top of it. Remove chicken from marinade and pat lightly with paper towels before arranging chicken on the broiler rack. Discard marinade.
  • Broil chicken for about 12-14 minutes, turning about ¾ through the cooking time. The chicken should have nice browning and some char.
  • Remove from oven and let rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately.
