Ingredients

3 tablespoons white miso
2 tablespoons honey
0.25 cup rice vinegar
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 whole chicken, halved, wing tips separated
kosher salt to taste
0.5 lemon, cut into wedges, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions

In a bowl, mix miso and honey. Add rice vinegar, hot sauce, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Whisk until smooth.
Make 3-4 slashes in the legs and thighs of the chicken. Coat the chicken in the marinade, ensuring it's well covered. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 2-12 hours.
Turn the chicken in the bowl. Sprinkle kosher salt on top for added flavor.
Preheat your grill to 350°F (175°C) for indirect heat cooking.
Place the chicken on the grill, cover, and grill for 20 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover, and grill for another 20 minutes.
Brush the extra marinade over the chicken. Cover and continue grilling until a thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) in the center of each thigh, about 5-10 more minutes.
Serve the miso honey chicken with lemon wedges seasoned with cayenne pepper. Squeeze the spicy lemon juice over the chicken before enjoying.
