Miso Honey Chicken image

It's not hard to make a great marinade with just a few ingredients, as long as one of those ingredients is the magical miso. This super savory paste, made from fermented rice, barley, and soybeans, isn't that hard to find. While the marinade is simple, the flavors are anything but.

Time 2h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons white miso
2 tablespoons honey
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 whole chicken, halved, wing tips separated
kosher salt to taste
½ lemon, cut into wedges, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Combine miso and honey in a bowl. Pour in rice vinegar, followed by hot sauce and salt. Whisk well until mostly smooth. Add chicken halves; cut 3 to 4 slashes into the legs and thighs. Toss chicken in the marinade until well coated. Refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours.
  • Flip chicken over in the bowl. Sprinkle more kosher salt on top.
  • Preheat grill to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) over indirect heat. Add chicken and cover. Grill for 20 minutes and flip chicken over. Cover and grill for another 20 minutes. Brush the excess marinade on top. Cover again and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Plate chicken alongside lemon wedges sprinkled with cayenne pepper. Squeeze some spicy lemon over the chicken as you cut it up.
