Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb chicken thighs into 1-inch chunks. Slice the 1 medium onion into 1-inch pieces. Thread chicken and onion alternately onto skewers.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp honey until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the skewers with half of the miso glaze. Reserve the rest for later.

  4. Step 4

    Heat the 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the skewers in the pan, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding.

  5. Step 5

    Cook the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (no pink inside).

  6. Step 6

    Brush the skewers with the remaining glaze and cook for 1 more minute, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

  7. Step 7

    Slice the 3 green onions thinly and sprinkle over the skewers before serving.
