Chicken thighs, peppers and fat lengths of spring onion griddled until charred under a spicy honey-miso glaze. Rice optional.

Ingredients

• 200 g Boneless chicken thighs, in 2 cm pieces
• Bell pepper, in 2 cm chunks × 1
• Spring onions, in 3 cm lengths × 2
• 1 tbsp White miso paste
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 10 g Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 clove Garlic, grated
• 0.5 tsp Chilli flakes
• 2 tsp Sesame oil
• Lime × 1
• 1 pinch Salt

Method

1. Whisk the Glaze

   

   In a bowl, whisk the miso, soy, honey, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, half the sesame oil and the lime into a thick, smooth glaze.

2. Thread & Marinate

   

   Thread the skewers: two pieces of chicken, then pepper, then spring onion, repeating; brush all over with the glaze and marinate 10–15 minutes.

3. Char on the Griddle

   

   Cook the skewers on a griddle pan over medium heat with the rest of the sesame oil for 10–12 minutes, turning and brushing with leftover glaze, until charred in stripes and cooked through — cut into the thickest piece to check there's no pink inside.

4. Rest & Squeeze

   

   Rest a minute and serve with any pan juices and a last squeeze of lime.
