Instructions
Add the white miso, sake, minim, brown sugar and garlic to a saucepan.
Cook over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the miso is fully incorporated into the glaze.
Take the glaze off the heat and allow it to cool.
Arrange the chicken thigh fillets in a container.
Pour 2/3 of the cooled glaze over the chicken.
Ensure that all the chicken is covered by the glaze.
Place a lid on the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
To Cook
Preheat oven to 180C/ 355F.
Place the chicken in a roasting tray allowing space between each fillet.
Prepare the reserved glaze by heating it in a saucepan over low heat with the scallions.
Cook the chicken for 15 minutes.
Brush the chicken with the heated reserved glaze and return the chicken to the oven.
After another 5 minutes brush the chicken with more glaze.
Continue cooking until the chicken in browned and cooked through. Cooking time will depend on the size of your thigh fillets.
Brush the remaining glaze over the chicken and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
