How To Cook This Recipe?

To cook this recipe, you’ll need to follow these steps:

1. Take the chicken thighs in a bowl and put the garlic paste, cooking sake and salt, and pepper to taste, and mix all of these ingredients very well. At last, add the potato starch to the bowl and make sure that the thighs are well-coated with the potato starch.
2. Now, take another bowl where you put 1 tablespoon of cooking sake, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of miso, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of ketchup. Once you are done adding, consider mixing them very well.
3. After that, heat a pan with a little bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, put the chicken thighs in it and give them around 5 to 6 minutes to sear per side. The goal of this step is to have a nice golden-brown sear on both sides of the chicken thighs.
4. When you are done searing, put the sauce mixture you made in step 2 in the pan and let it simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes. In this phase, stir the thighs occasionally.
5. At last, when you are all set, just serve it with plain rice and garnish with a little bit of parsley or whatever, and enjoy!

Tips For Cooking

Above is the most normal and common way to make this recipe. Now, below, I have provided some of my tips and tricks to make this miso chicken thighs recipe even better. This includes some dos and don’ts, so make sure you check them out. Trust me, you will not regret it! Check below:

1. Don’t overcrowd the pan while searing: No one likes soggy chicken that is not crispy or well-seared. So do we. The main reason we get soggy chicken thighs is that most of the time, when we have to cook a large amount, we just overcrowd the pan and cook it. Overcrowding causes the steam to be stored and absorbed between the thighs, and this causes problems. So, next time, whenever you are searing thighs, make sure not to overcrowd the pan!
2. Don’t disturb the thighs while searing: When you are searing the chicken thighs, try not to disturb them or stir them. This can damage the crisp or the texture of the chicken thighs. Always check the thighs if they are seared or not, after 5 minutes minimum.
3. Marination is always rewarded: Whenever you cook any kind of chicken dish, try marinating it first. Marination helps the chicken absorb the flavors and juices properly and evenly, resulting in more juicy and tasty chicken.
4. Let the chicken rest: When you are done cooking, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before cutting or serving it. It helps the chicken to absorb even more flavor and taste.
