Spicy Roasted Chicken Thighs with Miso and Ginger
A fiery red paste made of ginger, miso, and chili-garlic sauce gives roasted chicken thighs a welcome kick of heat.

Set the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees C).

Place the dried chicken thighs in a big bowl.

In a food processor or small chopper, combine the following ingredients: garlic, ginger, lemon zest, miso paste, vegetable oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chili-garlic sauce; blend until a saucy red paste forms.

Paste should be poured over the chicken and mixed thoroughly.

On a big baking sheet, spread out the chicken in a single layer.

Roast for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.

Cook for an additional 15 minutes after flipping, or until the juices run clear and the center is no longer pink.

In the center, an instant-read thermometer should register at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees C)
