Air Fryer Peanut Miso Honey Chicken
This will be your new favorite way to make chicken! This comes together quickly thanks to minimal ingredients and a handy dandy air fryer. Buying good miso is such a wonderful staple to have in your refrigerator. You can make this sauce pretty much on anything- fish, vegetables, proteins. You can also make miso dressings for salads. It's a versatile ingredient and I love to experiment with it.If you like peanut sauce, you will like this chicken! If you don't like peanut sauce, you might still like this chicken because it has miso and honey making it unique with its own flavor palate.One of my favorite miso recipes is this Nobu style cod. Such a showstopper!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breasts
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Miso
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1-2 tbsp Honey, to taste
- 1 tbsp Peanut Butter
- 1 tbsp Neutral oil like grapeseed or avocado
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, cut strips into the top of your chicken vertically, making sure to not pierce all the way but moreso halfway. Then do the same but horizontally so that they cut through each other and form 1' squares of chicken. Almost gridlike. Brush with your neutral oil on both sides and Season with salt.
- In a small mixing bowl, add your miso, soy, honey and peanut butter. Whisk until well combined. Do a taste test to make sure it's saltiness and sweetness is to your liking. If you want more salt, add more soy, If you want more sweet, add more honey. Set aside about half the sauce.
- Using a brush or a spoon, spread the sauce over the top of the chicken, making sure that it pours in between the cracks.
- Preheat air fryer to 375 f degrees. Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, being sure to check if the internal temp is cooked.
- Remove from air fryer and spread the reserved sauce over the chicken. Serve over jasmine rice.
