How To Make Miso-Honey Chicken And Asparagus

First, prepare the marinade by whisking together white miso, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, hot sauce, vegetable oil, and water in a bowl. Next, marinate the chicken thighs for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 205°C (401°F). Place both chicken thighs and asparagus onto a baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Season the asparagus with salt, ground black pepper, and drizzle with oil. Bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Broil the chicken for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the top is slightly charred and the asparagus becomes tender and lightly browned. Serve with fluffy white rice and garnish with scallions.

Cooking Tips

For the best result, please follow my tips below.

Use either chicken thighs or chicken breast as you prefer. Do not marinate the chicken for too long, as it may result in salty and dry meat after cooking. If you want an extra layer of flavor, you can baste the chicken with the marinade during the baking process. This adds a glossy finish and enhances the flavors. Not a fan of asparagus? No Problem. You may substitute the vegetables with broccoli, zucchini, or green beans.
