- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 lbs bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, legs and wings
- 1 green onion for garnish optional

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, sesame oil, olive oil, mirin, Sriracha, soy sauce and salt until nice and smooth.
- Place the chicken in a large ziplock bag and pour the prepared marinade. Squeeze out the air, as you close the bag.

- Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice, or vegetables of your choice for a complete meal.
