  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp miso paste
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, honey, garlic, rice vinegar, and olive oil.
  • Coat the chicken thighs with the miso mixture, making sure they are fully covered.
  • Cook the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and crispy.
  • Serve hot with your favorite side, such as rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • Add spice: Add sriracha or chili flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick.
  • Herb infusion: Add fresh thyme, rosemary, or cilantro to the marinade for extra flavor.
  • Lighter version: Swap honey for a sugar-free sweetener for fewer carbs.
  • Miso alternatives: Use white or red miso depending on your taste preference.
  • Air fryer adjustments: For boneless thighs, cook for 15-20 minutes.
