Description

Imagine tender chicken, infused with a vibrant Asian-inspired marinade, its flavors deepening with every moment it rests. This recipe brings together the savory depth of miso, the subtle heat of chili, the aromatic warmth of ginger, and the bright tang of lime, creating a symphony of tastes that dance on your palate. The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity and the incredible depth of flavor achieved with just a handful of ingredients.

The marinade, easily prepared in advance, allows the chicken to fully absorb the complex notes, resulting in a truly unforgettable culinary experience. For the best results, allow the chicken to marinate overnight, transforming it into a succulent, flavorful masterpiece. As the chicken roasts, nestled atop a bed of scallions, the kitchen fills with an irresistible aroma.

The scallions gently caramelize, adding a sweet and savory counterpoint to the richness of the chicken. A sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a delicate nutty crunch and visual appeal, completing the transformation into a golden-brown centerpiece. Whether you choose bone-in chicken pieces for their inherent juiciness or opt for boneless cuts for convenience, the key is to ensure the chicken is cooked to perfection, tender and moist within, with a beautifully caramelized exterior.

Bone-in, skin-on pieces will naturally retain more moisture during cooking, while boneless cuts may require a slightly shorter cooking time. This versatile dish pairs perfectly with a variety of sides. Consider serving it with your favorite steamed green vegetables, a refreshing cucumber salad, or a light and fluffy quinoa pilaf.

It’s equally at home as a comforting family dinner or a crowd-pleasing dish for gatherings with friends. Leftovers, stored properly, remain delicious for days, making this recipe a practical and delightful addition to your culinary repertoire. Reheat gently to preserve the chicken's tenderness and savor the lingering flavors of this exceptional dish.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Score the chicken skins a few times with a sharp knife and set them aside. Add the garlic-infused oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, tamari/soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, and miso paste to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
    2.
    Finely grate the ginger on the small edge of a box grater. Finely grate the lime on the same side of the box grater, then juice the lime. Dice the chilies into thin strips. Add the ginger, lime zest, lime juice, and chilies to the miso marinade. Mix to combine. Transfer the chicken to the bowl and massage the marinade into the meat, ensuring every bit is covered. For best results, leave the chicken to marinate overnight.
    3.
    Cut the white ends of the scallions and discard them, then dice the green tops of the scallions in half lengthways. Place the scallions at the base of a skillet pan or ovenproof dish. Position the chicken over the scallions and scrape the marinade over the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sesame seeds over the chicken.
    4.
    Cover the pan tightly with foil, and roast for 20 minutes in the center of the oven. Remove the foil and baste the chicken with the juices. Roast the chicken uncovered for a further 18 -20 minutes, until golden brown, sticky, and cooked through.
    5.
    Place a chicken leg on each plate, serve with salad or veggies of choice, a side of the softened scallions, and drizzle over the sauce.
