With just a few simple ingredients like shoyu, brown sugar, and a splash of beer, you’ll discover how easy it is to elevate your weeknight dinners. The result? Juicy, flavorful chicken with a golden crust that promises to impress even the pickiest eaters. This recipe is your new go-to for a satisfying meal that’s both comforting and exciting.

Miso-Peanut Hibachi Chicken

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup white miso paste
  • ¼ cup smooth peanut butter
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup any type of beer (I prefer a typical lager)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 2 tsp. sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 2½ lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Oil for grilling

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl or resealable bag, combine ¼ cup white miso, ¼ cup creamy peanut butter, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup beer, minced garlic, and sriracha. Add 2½ lb. chicken thighs, toss to coat, and marinate overnight in the fridge.

Step 2

Prepare your grill for high direct heat or preheat a grill pan on the stovetop. Oil the grates with tongs and a cloth or paper towel.

Step 3

Grill the chicken thighs directly on the grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side, until charred, easily lifts off the grates, and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Serve right away.

My Tip

For the best flavor, make sure to marinate the chicken thighs for at least 8 hours or overnight. This allows the shiro miso and peanut butter to really penetrate the meat, resulting in a tender, flavorful bite that’s hard to resist!

Leftovers

To store your Miso-Peanut Hibachi Chicken, place it in an airtight glass container in the fridge, where it will stay fresh for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy it again, reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist and flavorful.

Make It Your Own

For a delightful twist, swap the chicken for firm tofu and use tamari instead of shoyu for a gluten-free option. This way, you’ll still enjoy that rich, savory flavor while keeping it plant-based!
