Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1.5 pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoon white miso paste
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

- ½ tablespoon white miso paste
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon water
Garnishes
- chopped green onions

Instructions
- In a large bowl, add chicken thighs, miso paste, soy sauce, honey, mirin, rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and mix well to combine. Marinate for 15 mins up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat air fryer to 425F for a few mins. Add chicken thighs (don’t overcrowd and cook in batches as needed) and air fry for 11-14 mins until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should be 165F or more).If you don't have an air fryer, see alternate methods in the notes below.
- While the chicken is cooking, combine all the sauce ingredients in a cup or bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to loosen the sauce, mix well, and set aside.
- When the chicken is done, carefully cut into strips and serve with fluffy white rice and veggies. Garnish with chopped scallions, sesame seeds, and pour desired amount of miso ginger sauce on top of the chicken.
Notes
Alternate Methods:
If you don't have an air fryer, you can pan-fry the chicken on each side for 5-6 mins or bake them in the oven at 400F for 20-25 mins. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165F.
