Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the miso butter

Combine softened butter, white miso paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and mirin (if using) in a bowl. Mix thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the mixture is smooth. Set aside at room temperature if using immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours (bring to room temperature before using).

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Prepare the chicken

Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels, inside and out. This ensures crispy skin. Season the inside generously with salt and pepper. Carefully loosen the skin over the breast and thighs by sliding your fingers between the skin and meat, being careful not to tear the skin.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Apply miso butter

Take about two-thirds of the miso butter mixture and rub it under the loosened skin, spreading it evenly over the breast and thigh meat. Massage the skin from the outside to distribute evenly. Rub the remaining miso butter all over the outside of the chicken, coating it thoroughly. Season the outside with more salt and pepper. Tie the chicken legs together with a string and tuck the wing tips under the body.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Roast the chicken

Roast at 220°C for 15 minutes to get the skin browning. Then reduce the heat to 190°C and continue roasting for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste the chicken with pan juices every 20 minutes. If the skin browns too quickly, make a loose tent with foil. The miso will appear very dark – this is normal and creates great flavour.

Description - Step 6

Step 6: Rest and serve

Remove the chicken from the oven when done. Transfer to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 15-20 minutes before carving – this allows juices to redistribute. Meanwhile, strain the pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan, discarding solids. Carve the chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Drizzle with pan juices and garnish with herbs, sesame seeds, and sliced spring onions.
