Instructions
Creating Korean Chicken Breasts is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey or brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill or Pan: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.
6. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken against the grain and arrange it on a serving platter.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for a beautiful presentation.
These steps will guide you in creating mouthwatering Korean Chicken Breasts effortlessly.
