Recipe Share: Miso Chicken

I modified the recipe I found HERE

Here’s my spin on it:

1/3 cup light soy sauce
1/3 cup sake
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup miso (I used red miso– bought at the Asian specialty store)
3 green onions, slivered
2 teaspoons minced ginger root
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tbs five spice powder (optional)
4 lbs bone-in chicken thighs (bought for $.78/lb!)

I marinated the chicken overnight in the marinade.  Once you remove the chicken from the marinade, you can grill, saute or bake it.  I baked it at 375 degrees until the juices ran completely clear. 

I served it with brown rice, mushrooms and a shredded cabbage/carrot/radish salad with miso-ginger dressing.  The total dinner cost WAY under $10 and we have plenty left over for a stir fry (with the leftover salad and rice!) for tomorrow.  I also have wonton wrappers in the fridge and I can use the salad (once I cook it), the mushrooms and the chicken to make homemade wontons to either use in soup or to pan cook into eggrolls. 

Happy (cheap) eating!
