Instructions
Prepare the miso glaze
Whisk together miso paste, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a bowl until completely smooth. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the glaze for serving at the end.
Marinate the chicken
Pat the chicken thighs dry and score the skin lightly with a knife. Coat all sides of the chicken generously with the miso glaze. Marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
Sear the chicken
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5 minutes until the skin is golden and caramelized. Flip and sear the other side for 2 more minutes.
Roast in the oven
Transfer the skillet to a preheated 400 degree F oven and roast for 25 to 28 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Brush with additional glaze halfway through roasting.
Rest and serve
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with the reserved glaze and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve over steamed rice.
