“Miso and gochujang bring all the sweet-spicy-umami richness you need to this buttery roasted chicken dish,” says chef Lara Lee. “Their distinctive flavour profiles contribute an underlying funk to this (in my opinion) perfect marinade.” Recipe taken from A Splash of Soy by Lara Lee (Bloomsbury £22).
