Instructions

In a medium bowl, measure and add miso paste, brown sugar, ghee, rice vinegar, sriracha (more or less to taste), ginger paste, garlic paste (or freshly grated) and white pepper. Stir well to combine.

In a shallow bowl, place boneless skinless chicken thighs and about 2/3 of the miso marinade. Toss well to coat. Let sit while you prep and preheat the grill. Reserve the remaining miso glaze for brushing on chicken once grilled.

Dip a small wad of paper towel in oil (safe for high temp cooking) and grease grill grates.

THEN PREHEAT YOUR GRILL TO 400°F TO 450°F.

Once your grill is hot, place chicken smooth-side down on to the hot grates. Close the lid and grill for 4 minutes. Carefully flip and quickly brush the reserved miso mixture over top of the chicken. Close the lid and continue grilling until fully cooked about 3 to 4 minutes more (depending on size). Repeat this step, brushing both sides of the chicken and grilling for 2 more minutes total or until fully cooked.

Remove the grilled miso glazed chicken thighs and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
