I love the description of its origins in this article. I always default to mushrooms when tasked with defining “umami” (which is Japanese and actually translates to “delicious”) but miso paste is another excellent example of it. If you’re a sucker for combining the 5 basic tastes, miso maple chicken certainly checks off sweet, savory and even the 5th lesser known taste, umami. The chicken is also skillet baked entirely in the oven. Outside of the miso paste, there’s no oddball Asian ingredients that require a special grocery store run.Īnd that’s not meant to offend but let’s be real, how many of us have things like hoisin sauce, mirin, oyster sauce or shaoxing wine on hand at all times? Not me. With just the chicken (drumsticks or thighs work well for this recipe) and miso marinade/glaze ingredients, there’s nothing complicated about this recipe. It’s a skillet chicken dinner recipe you will undoubtedly bookmark as a favorite once you give it a try! WHY I LOVE THIS MISO CHICKEN RECIPE Miso paste and maple syrup combine as the prominent ingredients to create the most swoon-worthy sweet and savory sticky glaze on the chicken. Yet somehow, when I use miso paste in literally any other capacity, I’m obsessed.Īnd this miso chicken is a prime example. I honestly think it tastes like dirty sock water. This, by the way, is coming from someone who despises miso soup. Miso paste has become my new latest ingredient obsession.įor awhile tahini reigned supreme and I was making my lemon garlic tahini dressing on repeat or simply drizzling it all over vegetables like roasted romanesco.īut tahini is back in the pantry (for now) and miso is front and center.
Coated in a buttery glaze of miso paste, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, shallots, oil and vinegar, the chicken bakes until lusciously golden and sticky. This sweet and savory miso chicken recipe is simple yet outrageously delicious.
