Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Marinade
- 2 tbsp miso paste
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to come to temperature while you prepare the chicken.
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
- Marinate the chicken: Coat each chicken thigh thoroughly with the miso marinade, ensuring every piece is fully covered to maximize flavor absorption.
- Air fry the chicken: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure an even golden crisp on both sides.
- Serve: Once cooked through and crispy, serve the garlic miso chicken thighs hot alongside your favorite sides like steamed vegetables or warm rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs dry before applying the marinade.
- Adjust honey quantity to balance sweetness according to your taste.
- Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for best flavor and texture.
- Flip the chicken gently halfway through cooking to avoid skin tearing.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
