Chef’s Tips
- To make sure your chicken is cooked through, look for an internal temperature reading of 180° F (82° C) for a whole chicken, and 165° F (74° C) for ground poultry, chicken pieces and cuts.
- Substitute hoisin sauce, soy sauce or toasted sesame oil for miso paste.
- Spice up the salad with a garnish of thinly sliced red finger chili pepper if desired.
