Miso And Honey Butter–Roast Chicken

• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 1/2 tablespoons miso
• 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
• 4 chicken legs
• 8 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
• Salt

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0 F. Cream the softened butter with a spoon or spatula, and mix with the miso and honey until smooth and well combined.
2. Place the chicken legs into a baking dish so that they fit snugly and pat dry with paper towels. Carefully run your fingers under the chicken skin to separate it from the meat. Using a butter knife or your hands, take a tablespoon of the miso-honey butter and spread it underneath the skin; smooth down to distribute the butter evenly, and repeat for each leg. Spread the remainder of the mixed butter on top of the skin to cover each leg in an even layer. Tuck unpeeled garlic cloves between the chicken pieces. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
3. Roast in the oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until deeply browned (but not burnt!) and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken to a serving platter.
4. Remove the garlic from the pan and squeeze out the cloves from their skins. Mash them into the pan drippings to create a sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and consider serving with mashed potatoes or pureed cauliflower.
