Marinade and process for chicken thighs. A Nigel Slater recipe.

I have converted the recipe for the marinade to the TMX, from a recipe by Nigel Slater published in the Guardian.
He uses what we call Chicken Maryland. He bones them.  I used boned thighs with skin on or off.  1/2 to 3/4 kilo should serve 4.
Marinade
4 dessertspoons of White Miso Paste
2 dessertspoons  of Maple Syrup
3 dessertspoons Peanut oil
1 teaspoon of sesame oil

Mix together in TMX, 30 seconds, speed.
Tip over prepared chicken thighs

To prepare thighs
Skin on or off,
Flatten thighs by cutting through thick parts to flatten.
Place thighs in container with lid and pour over marinade.  Coat both sides.
Leave in fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
Cover grill plate with foil. Place chicken on foil and grill 8 minutes.  Turn and grill other side until cooked. Chicken will develop charred spots.
                                                           
 


Serving suggestions.
As the marinade has a lovely delicate flavour, and the chicken is tender and juicy,  the accompaniments should not overpower.
