Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- Chicken thighs (boneless, skin-on) as needed
- Olive oil
- Thyme, a pinch
- Rosemary, a pinch
- Whole peppercorns, a pinch
- Minced garlic, 1 tbsp
- Butter, as needed
- Miso paste, as needed
- Sugar, a pinch
- Chopped chives, a pinch
Recipe 🍳
- Heat olive oil in a pan over low heat. Add thyme, rosemary, minced garlic, and whole peppercorns to create an aromatic herb oil.
- Once the garlic and herbs have sufficiently infused the oil, turn off the heat and let it cool. Be careful not to burn the ingredients.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Score the skin and the thickest parts of the meat.
- Pour the prepared herb oil over the chicken and mix well. Let it marinate for 2-3 minutes.
- Place the chicken on an oven pan and bake in a convection oven (or a conventional oven preheated to 170°C/340°F) for about 20 minutes until golden brown. No preheating is necessary for the oven.
- While the chicken is baking, combine butter, minced garlic, miso paste, sugar, and pepper in a sauce pan. Sauté over low heat.
- Once the butter has melted and the miso paste is smooth and fragrant, bring to a gentle simmer to complete the sauce.
- Remove the baked chicken from the oven, cut into bite-sized pieces, and arrange on a plate. Top with the miso butter sauce and garnish with chopped chives.
- Simmer herbs, garlic, and olive oil over low heat in a pan to create an infused oil.
- Coat chicken, scored and patted dry, with herb oil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Mix melted butter with miso paste, garlic, and sugar, then simmer. Serve the sauce with the baked chicken.
Cooking tips 💡
- When making the herb oil, use low heat to prevent the garlic and herbs from burning and becoming bitter. Gently extract the flavors.
- Thoroughly pat the chicken dry to ensure the skin becomes extra crispy when baked in the oven.
- When making the miso butter sauce, stir the miso paste with the butter using a spoon to ensure it dissolves smoothly, creating a velvety sauce.
