Miso Chicken

Grilled miso chicken breasts
Serves 4

Yummy with rice and some white wine such as Gruner Veltliner or Riesling.

*

1½ cup tbs red miso paste
2 tbs sake
1 tbs mirin
2 teaspoons soya sauce
4 large chicken breasts, about 500g, skin intact
Shredded shiso or green basil leaves for garnishing
1 lemon, cut into wedges to serve (optional)

First
Combine miso, sake, mirin and soya sauce in a medium bowl. Add chicken, toss to coat well and set aside to marinade for one hour or refrigerate overnight.

Second
Pre-heat grill. Transfer chicken pieces onto lightly greased tray skin side up. Place under the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes on high heat or until cooked through and browned, turning once during cooking.

Third
To serve, cut finger-width slices and transfer onto a serving plate. Garnish with leaves and lemon wedges on the side.
