Miso Salted Caramel Chicken Wings

Miso

Miso is a versatile and traditional Japanese ingredient used in cooking. It a rich umami flavor that adds depth and complexity to many dishes that you have enjoyed at Japanese restaurants, including meats, vegetables, soups and salad dressing.

With its unique savory taste and health benefits, miso is cherished by chefs and home cooks alike for enhancing the overall taste of their creations.

Miso Caramel Chicken Wings

Miso Salted Caramel Chicken Wings, adapted from a recipe, Miso Caramel Chicken Wings, which appeared in the June 2017 issue of BBC Good Food Magazine, got me started on a miso journey – selectively adding miso to just about everything I grill or bake lately to see if it improves the taste.

90% of the time it does makes the recipe better!

Miso Salted Caramel Chicken Wings are Perfect for Any Party, But Too Good to Save

When you taste these wings, you will instantly know that they will be welcome at almost any party, cookout, tailgating, picnic and more. But you will also know that you do not want to wait for a party to make them again.

That’s good – Because, besides being delicious, this recipe is super easy to make and requires only a few minutes work and about 45 minutes total cooking time. So they can be a light weeknight dinner or a quick snack when unexpected cocktail buddies pop over.

Miso Salted Caramel Chicken Wings Notes

Note #1 – The miso glaze from the recipe is enough for up to about 2 – 2 1/2 pounds of wings. Naturally, it will be fine if you make less. Save unused glaze in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, up to 2 weeks to make more wings, if you like.

Note #2 – Golden Caster Sugar is a finely granulated unrefined sugar. It is pale golden brown and has a slight buttery flavor. It is popular in the United Kingdom for the color and taste it brings to foods (It makes a delicious Simple Syrup for cocktails!) You can find it in the US in upscale supermarkets. If you can not find it, substitute Raw Cane Sugar, Demerara Sugar, Turbinado Sugar or even White Sugar. Do not substitute Brown Sugar.
