These ingredients work together to create a marinade that not only infuses the chicken with flavor, but also helps to tenderize it. Once the chicken is marinated, it is grilled until perfectly cooked, resulting in a juicy and flavorful dish that can be served with a variety of sides, including rice, vegetables, or noodles.

GRILLED MISO CHICKEN
My mom makes miso every year and this is one of the first things that we make with her miso. The recipe (with a variety of differences) is readily available, but I tend to go with the most simple versions of things, so this is what we use. The grilling/broiling instructions are a bit vague, but grills are different enough that the operator should use whatever method they think is most reasonable, just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn. Burnt miso is not a good thing. Prep time includes marinating time.

Steps:
- Combine the water, soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin and garlic to a 1 gallon freezer bag and shake to mix well. Add the chicken, then seal the bag, pressing out as much air as you can. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
- While the chicken marinates, put the cucumbers in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to coat evenly and let it stand for 30 minutes. When the cucumbers have started turning translucent, grab use your hands to squeeze out as much water as possible. The more water you squeeze out, the crunchier the pickles will be.
- To make the sauce, add the miso, ground sesame seeds, yuzu juice, and water to a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Get a charcoal grill going and grill the chicken, skin side down, until the skin is golden brown and crisp. If the chicken starts burning, move it over to the cooler side of the grill. Flip the chicken over and continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer). Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and chop it into chunks.
- To make the lettuce wraps, have each person grab a leaf of lettuce and add a spoonful of grilled chicken. Top with some pickled cucumbers and drizzle with a little sesame miso sauce. Wrap and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts for best results. Thighs are more flavorful, while breasts are leaner.
- Make sure the chicken is well-marinated: The marinade helps to flavor the chicken and keep it moist. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking. If your grill does not have a temperature gauge, you can check the heat by holding your hand over the grate. If you can hold your hand there for about 5 seconds, the grill is ready.
- Cook the chicken over direct heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the chicken. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Make the miso-soy glaze while the chicken is cooking: This will allow the flavors to meld together. Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Brush the glaze on the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking: This will help to caramelize the glaze and add a delicious flavor to the chicken. Cook the chicken for serveral more minutes, or until the glaze is set.
Conclusion:
Grilled miso-soy chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. Miso-soy chicken combines the best of both worlds, with the sweet and savory flavors of the glaze and the smoky flavor of the grill. It's a great source of protein and can be used in a variety of dishes, from tacos to salads to stir-fries. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned griller, grilled miso-soy chicken is a dish that you're sure to enjoy.
