Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

02

Step
5 mins

In a food processor, combine the garlic, ginger, lemon zest, miso paste, vegetable oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chili-garlic sauce. Blend until a smooth, vibrant red paste forms, releasing the aromatic essence of each ingredient.

03

Step
2 mins

Pour the flavorful paste over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is generously coated. Massage the marinade into the chicken, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply.

04

Step
35 mins

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer on a large baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece for even roasting.

05

Step

Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each thigh. Continue to cook for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

06

Step

Remove the roasted chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful chicken.

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken thighs for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, in the refrigerator.
Serve these spicy roasted chicken thighs with a side of steamed rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
Adjust the amount of chili-garlic sauce to your liking, depending on your preferred level of spiciness.
Garnish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions for an elegant presentation.
