Which miso paste to use
Miso paste comes in a whole bunch of different flavors and colors, most notably white, yellow and red. In general, the darker the color, the more pungent the flavor. Read more about the different types of miso paste here. For this recipe, we are sticking with white miso paste.
Tips for crispy chicken thighs
When baking skin-on chicken thighs, there are a few things you can do to encourage that deliciously crispy skin:
- pat the thighs dry
- use only a light coating of oil
- place them on a wire rack
You can read more about baking perfect, crispy chicken thighs here.
While the photos in this post show the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, if you want crispy skin, I'd recommend baking the thighs on wire rack placed on a separate baking sheet from the vegetables.
Recipe tips
- you can bake this recipe in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish (as pictured), or spread it out over 2 baking sheets
- if you find the chicken does not have brown/crispy skin by the end of the cook time, remove the vegetables from the oven and place the chicken under the broiler for 2-5 minutes
- swap the skin-on chicken thighs for drumsticks or chicken legs (adjust cook time accordingly and ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ยฐF)
- get the chicken and vegetables into the oven, then start working on the miso honey butter
- use up leftover miso paste as a chicken marinade (find my favorite one here)
- use up leftover honey miso butter on Instant Pot corn on the cob

Linda says
My family doesn't like dark meat. Could I substitute the thighs for skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts? Would I need to increase cooking time?
Denise says
Hi Linda, I'm SO sorry I didn't get back to you sooner (holiday travel). I'm not sure about subbing the chicken thighs for breasts, I actually don't have much experience cooking skin on bone in chicken breast. I would try cooking them separately so you can pull them out if they cook a little faster? Wish I could be of more help. Good luck!
Soozle says
I would use the dish to roast some root vegetables ๐
Denise says
Corning Ware is great, isn't it, Lyn? I love the colored ones!
Piroska says
I would make scalloped potatoes. Or maybe lasagna. Or maybe both! Haha!
Lise says
I love a good casserole dish for nice dinners. One of my favourite sides is scalloped potatoes. No matter what you put into the dish it always tastes good. No measuring needed.
Sylvia Cutmore says
I love making roast veggies ( your recipe looks great) or I would make a big apple crisp.
Brenda Penton says
I'd make spaghetti squash casserole
Glogirl says
I would bake an apple crisp with apples from our own trees.
