Follow these straightforward steps to create your Korean BBQ Chicken Bowls:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice vinegar, black pepper, and gochujang.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and massage to coat the chicken well. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, wash and slice the carrots, broccoli, and cucumbers.
5. Assemble the Bowls: Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into bite-sized pieces. In serving bowls, add a base of cooked rice, followed by the sliced chicken and arranged vegetables.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over each bowl. Add fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
7. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the incredible combination of flavors in each bowl.
