Ingredients
– 2 pounds of chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 4 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 inch fresh ginger (grated)

– 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
– 2 green onions (sliced for garnish)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Korean BBQ Chicken:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and gochujang. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat Your Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Cook the Chicken (Grilling Method): Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Cook the Chicken (Oven Method): Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized on the edges.
6. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices for a more flavorful bite.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the chicken before serving for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.
