Miso, soy, and honey are a powerful trio, creating a savory marinade that could make just about anything sing (cod or salmon, broccoli or zucchini, tofu). Do have a keen eye on your chicken (especially if you have a drawer-style broiler at the bottom of your oven), checking it every so often to prevent a completely blackened cook.

Preparation
-
Heat broiler. Whisk ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup white miso, and 1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce in a large bowl to combine. Add 1½ lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs (the miso and soy sauce are plenty salty, so no need to season the chicken) and toss to coat. Arrange on wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and spoon any marinade remaining in bowl over. Broil chicken, turning halfway through, until cooked through and deeply charred in spots, 10–15 minutes (keep a close eye on it). Thinly slice chicken. Serve over steamed white rice, topped with thinly sliced scallions, if desired.
