Add chicken thighs to the marinade and thoroughly massage to ensure even coating.

Line the air fryer tray or basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking.

Place chicken thighs in a single layer on the prepared tray. Pour any remaining miso glaze over the chicken for optimal moisture and flavor.

07 -
Baste chicken with leftover pan juices. Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
# Notes:

For oven preparation, preheat to 375°F (190°C), bake chicken for 30–35 minutes flipping halfway, then broil for 2 minutes for color. Bone-in chicken may require a longer cook time; always verify with an instant-read thermometer.
