Here's a different flavor for BBQ - Red and White Miso. Miso is super-rich in probiotics, becomes even flavorful when smoked. It balances the benefits of healthy ingredients with the smoky allure of barbecue. While marinating takes the most time, the process is simple—set the smoker to 375°F, and a delicious dinner can be ready under an hour.

 

Ingredients

  • 10 bone in chicken thighs. About 5 pounds
  • 2 T minced garlic
  • 3 T white miso
  • 3 T red miso
  • 1/4 C shoyu
  • 1/4 C mirin

 

Directions

  1. I used a meat tenderizer on the meat side of the chicken only (it's how I do pork belly to enhance the marinade)
  2. Combine all ingredients except shoyu and mirin in a bowl
  3. Refrigerate about 3 hours or overnight
  4. Add the shoyu and mirin, mix well, return to the refrigerator for another 3 hours
  5. Set smoker to 375 F
  6. Cook about 45 minute, internal temperature should be 165F
