Juicy, flavorful, and packed with umami, this Garlic Miso Chicken is your new go-to air fryer dinner. Sweet, savory, and slightly sticky with a crisp golden edge, this viral chicken thigh recipe comes together in just 30 minutes—and tastes like a restaurant-quality dish made right in your kitchen!
Ingredients
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons minced green onions (white part)
2 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Garnish: green onions (green tops) and fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the miso paste, rice vinegar, mirin, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and the white parts of the green onions.
Add chicken thighs to the marinade and massage thoroughly to coat. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
Line your air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper or foil. Place the chicken in a single layer and spoon any extra marinade over the top.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Optional: Broil for 2 minutes at the end to achieve a caramelized crust.
Use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Baste with pan juices, garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro, and serve hot!
Notes
Don’t skip the broil! It adds a delicious crispy finish to the glaze.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
This pairs perfectly with jasmine rice, noodles, or a crisp cucumber salad.
