A Japanese-inspired dish that's easy to make! Simply marinate ahead of time, and grill anytime you like.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons miso paste
  • 3 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions

  • Step 1:
    Mix miso, mirin, rice wine, soy sauce, and honey together in a bowl until miso is completely dissolved. Stir in garlic and ginger.
  • Step 2:
    Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Turn the bag or mix chicken to ensure even distribution of marinade. Refrigerate and allow to marinade 8 hours or overnight, mixing or turning the bag occasionally.
  • Step 3:
    Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Step 4:
    Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Step 5:
    Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Step 6:
    Remove from the grill and chop into wide strips, approximately 4 to 5 slices per piece. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
