Roasted White Miso-Butter Chicken Ingredients :

- 2 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1/2 tablespoon of rice vinegar

How To Make Roasted White Miso-Butter Chicken
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Combine miso paste, softened butter, honey, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Rub the mixture evenly over and under the skin of the chicken thighs. Arrange the thighs in a large roasting pan, leaving enough space between them for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
Recipe Notes:
Prep Time & Cook Time: This dish takes just 5 minutes prep time and 30 minutes cook time, totaling about 35 minutes for a fast, flavorful meal.
Oven Temperature: Bake at 375 °F (190 °C) for perfectly cooked chicken with a luscious glaze.
Substitutions: If you don’t have white miso, yellow miso works as a close alternative—just expect a slightly deeper flavor. For a dairy-free version, try substituting vegan butter.
Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the miso-butter spread up to a day in advance and refrigerate. Just bring it to room temperature before using so it spreads easily under the chicken skin.
