Honey-Miso Glazed Chicken
Honey-Miso Glazed Chicken balances gentle sweetness with deep umami, creating juicy meat and a glossy, flavorful skin. The miso and honey caramelize beautifully while a touch of heat adds subtle warmth, making it special enough for weekend grilling or a relaxed dinner with friends. Serve it with bright lemon wedges to cut through the richness and highlight the savory glaze.
