Korean Barbecue Chicken Thighs Recipes

GOCHUJANG CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken according to your grill type and your preference. (For me, as I'm intending to grill as a whole, I just transferred the fillets out from the packaging into a large container.)
• Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix them well. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Mix evenly to coat the chicken with the sauce. Cover and marinate it for at least 4 hours or overnight in the fridge to deepen the flavor.
• Grease the grill plate and preheat the bbq following your grill manual. Grill the chicken, covered for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 165 degrees F / 74 C). If you have opted, grill some rice cakes and sweet potatoes. Be sure to coat them with some cooking oil before placing them on the grill.
• Serve. (Refer to my serving suggestions in the main post!)

KOREAN BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F °.
• Make the sauce: Mix the soy sauce, sriracha, garlic, ginger, honey, sesame oil, olive oil, and rice wine vinegar in a bowl and set aside.
• Bake the chicken: Place the chicken in a large baking dish and pour the sauce over each piece. Flip the pieces to ensure they're fully covered in sauce. Bake for 20 minutes, brush or baste the chicken with the sauce from the pan, then bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or until the thickest piece registers 165F degrees in the middle.
• Garnish: Sprinkle the chicken generously with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

KOREAN-INSPIRED GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Combine sugar, soy sauce, water, onion, garlic, pepper, and sesame oil in a blender; process until well blended.
• Put chicken into a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour marinade over top and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until slightly crisp on the outside, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 4 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• Transfer puree to a sauce pot and simmer, reducing to 2/3 original volume, until a thick sauce is formed to create the Korean BBQ sauce.
• Grill chicken thighs until done. Toss in Korean BBQ sauce and serve.
