Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine boneless skinless chicken thighs with Maille Dijon mustard, white miso paste, honey, oil, soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, kosher salt, sweet paprika, and black pepper. Mix until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. After soaking, drain, then thread the marinated chicken pieces snugly onto them.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400°F to 425°F). Once heated, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
  4. With a minute left of grilling, brush half of your finishing sauce over the chicken skewers to create a glossy finish. Remove from grill and brush with remaining sauce.
  5. Allow the skewers to rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with a fresh leafy salad or warm crusty bread.
