Step-by-step
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Using kitchen shears, cut and remove the meat from the tip of the bone.
- And when you remove the meat halfway, peel it back so that it forms a “tulip” shape.
- Mix all the seasonings in a small bowl.
- Put the chicken and seasonings in a large Ziploc bag and massage the chicken. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil on the bottom (for easy cleanup) and grease the rack with cooking spray.
- Place the chicken on the rack in a single layer. Broil on high for 10 minutes and then flip to continue cooking for another 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make spicy miso sauce. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix all together. You can apply the sauce when the chicken is done, or you can put the sauce in a small dish and serve with the chicken.
