Charred Miso-Garlic Chicken Drumsticks

Miso adds a big umami boost to marinades, but it also acts as a tenderizer for tougher cuts of meat. In this recipe it’s paired with chicken drumsticks, garlic and hot sauce for a winning flavor combination, while a touch of mirin lends a subtle sweetness and allows for fantastic charring in your June Oven. Use the more mellow white miso for this recipe--you can substitute yellow miso in a pinch, but stay away from any aged, strongly-flavored red or brown rice miso here. Be sure to marinate the drumsticks for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours for the best flavor. Plan ahead and marinate them in the morning before you head to work then pop them in the June Oven when you get home for a delicious main. While the chicken roasts you can steam rice or boil noodles for a quick and tasty meal.
