Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, gochugaru, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and black pepper. Mix well until combined. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill or Oven

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). If using the oven, place the chicken on a baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
