2 tablespoons white miso paste
-
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
-
2 tablespoons mirin
-
1 tablespoon honey

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.
