Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Pat chicken dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Make Miso Glaze: Whisk together honey, garlic, ginger, miso, soy sauce, vinegar, and chili flakes.
- Sear Chicken: Sear chicken in olive oil for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Glaze and Cook: Reduce heat, pour glaze over chicken, and baste for 3-4 minutes until cooked through (165°F).
- Rest and Slice: Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing diagonally.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with remaining glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds and lime zest.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the glaze for up to overnight. Using a cast iron skillet ensures even heat distribution during searing.
