Directions

Step 1
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. Cut bell peppers and red onion into similar-sized pieces.
Step 2
For the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine miso paste, peanut butter, soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, and a splash of water (1-2 tbsp). Whisk over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside.
Step 3
Thread chicken pieces, bell peppers, and red onion alternately onto the soaked skewers.
Step 4
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush skewers with toasted sesame oil.
Step 5
Grill skewers for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp. During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, brush the skewers generously with the miso-peanut glaze, turning frequently to prevent burning.
Step 6
Remove from grill, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
