Provided by David Tanis

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
Salt and pepper
2 large garlic cloves, smashed but not peeled, plus 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and thickly sliced, plus 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 small onion, thinly sliced
6 cups chicken broth (optional)
1/4 cup mirin
4 tablespoons yellow or red miso
1/2 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean red-pepper flakes)
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 cups leeks, white and tender green parts, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

Put chicken thighs in a large pot, seasoning well with salt and pepper on both sides. Add smashed garlic cloves, ginger slices, onion, 6 cups water (or chicken broth, if you prefer) and mirin, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 30 minutes, until tender. Remove chicken to a baking dish. Strain broth into a bowl. Place back into the pot, and keep warm. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine miso, gochugaru, grated garlic, grated ginger, vinegar and sugar. Add a little hot broth to thin, then smear mixture over chicken and coat well.
Bake chicken until browned and glazed, about 20 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, bring broth to a simmer, taste and adjust seasoning. Add leeks and cook until just done - soft, but still green, about 5 minutes.
To serve, slice chicken into 1/4-inch pieces and divide among large soup bowls, then ladle broth on top. Spoon any remaining miso mixture from pan over chicken. Garnish with scallions.

Ginger-Grilled Chicken and Radishes with Miso-Scallion Dressing image

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs
3 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 (12-oz.) can ginger beer
6 garlic cloves, finely grated
3/4 cup plus 6 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar, divided
3 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. finely grated ginger (from about one 4" piece)
1 Tbsp. white miso
3/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. vegetable or sunflower oil, plus more for grill
6 scallions, finely chopped
2 bunches radishes, preferably with greens, halved lengthwise
Freshly ground black pepper
3 heads Little Gem lettuce or romaine hearts, leaves separated

Steps:

Season chicken on all sides with 2 1/2 tsp. salt and place in a large bowl. Add ginger beer, garlic, 3/4 cup vinegar, and 3 Tbsp. ginger to bowl and toss to combine. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
Meanwhile, whisk miso, 3/4 cup oil, 1 tsp. salt, and remaining 6 Tbsp. vinegar and 1 tsp. ginger in a small bowl. Mix in scallions. Let dressing sit at room temperature up to 1 hour, or chill up to 24 hours.
Prepare a grill for high heat; brush grate lightly with oil. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
Toss radishes with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl; season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to platter with chicken.
Toss lettuce with about one-third of dressing in a large bowl. Drizzle another third of the dressing over grilled radishes. Serve remaining dressing alongside.

Categories main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup coarsely chopped dill pickles, plus 1/3 cup juice from the jar
5 scallions, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Pumpernickel bread and jarred pickled beets, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 8 thin cutlets. Season with salt and pepper and dredge in flour. Heat the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken in batches and cook until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Add the onion, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Cook until the onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cook until slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low.
Meanwhile, mix the egg yolks, pickles, pickle juice, scallions and parsley in a bowl. Stir into the broth and cook, stirring, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens and the chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Serve with bread and pickled beets, if desired.
